Product Review

Named after the Duchy of Cornwall estates, which are held in trust by The Prince of Wales, Duchy Originals was launched in 1990. Their first product, the oaten biscuit, was launched in 1992. Back then they had a simple idea: to prove that if food was made the right way - slowly, carefully and naturally - then people would pay for it. They grew the wheat and oats themselves on Home Farm, where the rich soil helps give wheat and oats a great flavor, before sending them just down the road to Shipton Mill, where they were stone-ground. The result was their classic Oaten biscuit with its thin, crisp texture and a unique flavor balance.
