Great British Biscotti Co introduces plant-based lines & compostable packaging

The Great British Biscotti Co, based in Dorset, UK, is releasing two new plant-based and gluten free lines, as well as introducing ‘home compostable’ packaging across its twin-pack product portfolio.

Over the last few years The Great British Biscotti Co has proudly rekindled the fortunes of the humble biscotti that first arrived on UK shores some two thousand years ago in the knapsacks of invading Roman legionnaires. Originally assembled as a durable, double-baked, energy provider for famished foot soldiers, biscotti has evolved to become a popular accompaniment to coffee.

The Great British Biscotti Co has been pushing the biscotti boundaries since 2017, introducing new and different flavours to what was once only an almond-orientated treat.

In May 2020, the bakery company will be launching the following two vegan, gluten free flavours, made using a secret flour blend and replacing dairy fat with coconut oil: Dark Belgian Chocolate & Cranberry and Almond, Roasted Hazelnut & Orange (pictured above).

The entire twin pack biscotti range features compostable packaging.

In addition, Great British Biscotti Co is making the packaging across its entire twin pack range (including the above) compostable. This includes the company’s Simply Almond and White Chocolate, Cranberry & Pistachio biscotti, as well as its new Triple Chocolate flavour.

According to founder Paul Rostand, ‘We live in an age where The British Craft Food movement is growing like never before, a foodie renaissance born from an insatiable craving for best-in-class ingredients, constant innovation and recipe integrity. As an ambitious specialist bakery in Dorset, we’re proud to respond to the growing concerns of deserving food minorities, (vegans and coeliacs) whose calls for more tailored recipe decks should never result in having to settle for underwhelming flavours and textures.

“As for compostable packaging, we believe everyone has a responsibility to reduce their litter trail and leave the planet as they found it.”
