The ideal partner to tea or coffee or simply on their own as a snack, Kent & Fraser’s Fig & Hazelnut Crunchy Cookies are bursting with flavour. Inspired by an Italian classic where figs pair perfectly with roasted hazelnuts and flavours are set duelling with a touch of Madagascan vanilla and a pinch of warm cinnamon, these deliciously new crunchy cookies are temptingly delicious and in a class of their own when it comes to gluten-free perfection

We really loved these. They are crunchy, different and delicious. The pack was polished off pretty quickly. 

Kent & Fraser’s new Toasted Almond Shortbread, are again based on an Italian almond cookie classic but with a contemporary British twist. Packed full of chopped, toasted almonds and ‘bigged-up’ with a hint of pure almond extract, these mouth-wateringly tempting biscuits give the perfect balance of buttery, rich sweetness and subtle, sophisticated almond heaven.

These were also brilliant. So tasty and amazing. We love the two new flavours from Kent & Fraser. We recommend them highly. Both the texture and taste is sublime. 

Deliciously natural and bursting with flavour, Kent & Fraser’s products have led the way in gluten-free greatness for over five years. As good as, if not better than, conventional wheat-based offerings, Kent & Fraser are wholly dedicated to delivering ground-breaking products that continue to challenge perception and set deliciously new and higher standards in the world of gluten free cookies, biscuits and shortbread.

Fig & Hazelnut Crunchy Cookies and Toasted Almond Shortbreads are available to purchase through purchase from Harrods, Selfridges, scores of independent delicatessens and farm shops nationwide, and Ocado from the end of June, RRP from £2.29.
