Organic Product Review: Two By Two - Organic Vanilla Biscuits

I bought these biscuits when I was in Whole Foods Market in London. I was attracted by the packaging and was interested because they were an organic luxury biscuit aimed at Children. Inside the rustic cardboard packaging these handmade biscuits are well sealed in a foil packaging. Although hard to open the packaging has preserved the biscuits so perfectly that they make an audible 'snap' when broken. This may suggest that they would be hard, brittle biscuits but being an all butter biscuit they melt in the mouth. The vanilla is not overpowering but subtle and adds a softness to the flavour.

The biscuits themselves are shaped like owls and pussycats and carved with feathers and fur patterns. Children will love these both for the way they look and the way they taste. As a children's product they are quite high in sugar (20.2g per 100g) and saturated fat (14.9g per 100g). On the positive side they contain no hydrogenated or trans fats.

I really enjoyed these biscuits and will definitely be trying to stock these in my new hamper range.

Two by Two Organic Vanilla Biscuits are made by Artisan Biscuits and are certified organic by the soil association.
