A Shortbread’s for life, not just for Christmas
We tried really hard to keep our New Year’s resolutions this
year. We switched to skinny lattes, participated in Dryathlon, Veganuary and
some of us even cut down on chocolate. It was harder for us than most here as
we are surrounded by so many delicious treats at Pelican Rouge HQ. But it’s
time to face facts; we are as they say ‘off the wagon.’
Whilst we have taken down the decs and waved goodbye to
Christmas for another year, one thing we have struggled to leave behind are our
very favourite shortbread biscuits. When
you spend life in pursuit of the best tasting coffee in the world like we do,
it stands to reason that you want the world’s best shortbread biscuit to eat
with it! We have been proudly supplying our customers with Walkers Shortbread
for over ten years now and thought we’d take the opportunity to tell you a
little about Walkers exactly why we think we’re perfect partners.
A whole lotta history….
Situated beside the River Spey in the beautiful Scottish
Highlands, Walkers have been baking their shortbread to their original recipe
since 1898. Like us (we have been roasting coffee since 1863) the equipment has
been modernised and the range has expanded but each new line carries the
original quality and values of the brand.
It’s all about the taste…
Joseph Walker famously opened his first bakery with a £50
loan and the ambition to create ‘the world’s finest shortbread.’ This is akin
to our own founder, Joseph van Leckwyck’s mission to create ‘great taste for
all.’ We are united by our missions to produce world leading products and to
make them available to everyone.
No compromise...
Like us, Walkers know that if you want to produce leading
products, you cannot compromise on your recipe or your ingredients. If the
original Joseph Walker were to walk into the factory tomorrow and taste the
shortbread, he’d recognise it as his original recipe. And we like to think that
if our own Joseph van Leckwyck were to walk into our roastery today, he’d feel
right at home too!
