VENDOR

SHORTBREAD HOUSE is a small, family-run bakery based in Scotland's historic capital city of Edinburgh. Anthony Laing and his wife Fiona acquired the business in 1989. Since then, it has grown from a small customer base in Scotland to having customers throughout the UK and abroad. Anthony comes from a family with a strong baking tradition. His father is Lord Laing who was chairman of United Biscuits.

Shortbread House does not aspire to become a large conglomerate, preferring to concentrate on a niche market where quality, rather than quantity, is emphasized. Their customer base is predominantly the independent retail trade such as delicatessens, garden centers and department stores such as Fortnum & Mason, John Lewis and Harvey Nichols. All products are genuinely made by hand, so their taste, texture and appearance are quite different from the mass-produced brands.

Quality is baked in by a small team of skilled bakers using the very best quality ingredients. All products for Scottish Gourmet USA are made to order to ensure you receive the products as fresh as possible.
