Stockan's Orkney Wholegrain Thick Oatcakes - Traditional Scottish Savoury Biscuits Imported from Scotland - 6 Packs (8 Oatcakes in Each Pack)

Delicious authentic Scottish oatcakes.

Sadly, predictably, a little expensive when compared to Scotland but, as a fondly remembered treat, well worth it! Please don't refer to these as "Crackers", They don't "Crack", they crumble. These are perfect with butter and any good cheese, and for the more lightly flavoured cheeses, try a spot of Loganberry (or similar) jam. They arrived well packaged and in perfect condition, despite how 'crumbly' they are. I'll be getting more in for New Year and Burns Night!

Nice oat flavor and texture - not too sweet and not too dry. Best when paired with soft cheese or fruit jam.

Stockan's thick oatcakes taste much better than anything produced by Nairn's, regardless of whether the latter are called "oatcakes" or "crackers" and regardless of whether they're produced for the U.K. or U.S. market. This may be because the Stockan's contain a little more sugar and salt and they because they also contain a little wheat, as do most commercially-produced oatcakes. They're not sweet, but they have a flavor that's faintly reminiscent of graham crackers and they're a bit more tender than Nairn's Rough or Walker's Highland. Walker's Fine oatcakes are somewhat similar to the Stockan's, though not as tasty or as sturdy, and I bought them for years because they were a lot cheaper. Walker's have now stopped selling them in the U.S. If price is no object, you can order oatcakes from the U.K. that aren't made with palm oil (unlike Nairn's, Stockan's, and most Walker's products), but I doubt that any of them are good enough to justify the added cost. The ones that are made with olive oil don't even taste like oatcakes, IMHO. Do any of the big-brand oatcakes taste like homemade? Probably not, unless your mother was in love with Crisco. Effie's oatcakes are made with butter, like many home versions, but they contain so much sugar that they're essentially cookies. By and large, oatcakes are no harder to make than sugar cookies or shortbread, so you can always try making your own. Google "Felicity Cloake" and "oatcakes" for an overview and recipes. The thick and thin oatcakes are both good, and other reviewers have offered many topping suggestions. I would only add that I create "cookies" by slapping together one thin oatcake spread with hazelnut butter and a second spread with jam. (To make your own hazelnut butter, just pulse the nuts in your food processor. I use unblanched, roasted nuts and add nothing else.) This would be a 5-star item were it not for the fact that it's so frequently out of stock. We can blame the current problem on clogged ports or an obscenely corrupt political appointee, but 24-pack lots are almost always available from the same seller. Can't Amazon break open a few and repackage them as 6-pack lots? If not, why can't the seller address this problem by listing these oatcakes only as 6-pack lots and offering discounts to those who buy the 6-packs in multiples of 4? Even if I had room for 24 packs of oatcakes, and even if I could consume them before they got stale, I would still hesitate to order 24 at a time. If the 24-pack lots are always available long after the 6-packs are out of stock, how fresh can they be when they arrive on your doorstep?

Tasty low sodium cracker. I enjoy these any time of day Will definitely make additional purchases

These are my favorite oatcakes, I ate the walkers for many years but find I prefer these!

Very plain, healthy and unprocessed. Great with jam or to relive your excellent tour of Scotland.

I use Amazon as my main source for Stockan's Thick Oatcakes. They are difficult to find outside of Scotland. We always have some on hand for regular use. We also give them to friends who appreciate how special they are. (These are usually Scottish ex-pats who appreciate how special they are. We will continue ordering so as to be sure to always have some on hand.

Excellent prompt service & well packaged. 2nd time ordering x3 boxes 0f six now; as i find them so so good. Nice & thick & a grt standby for snacks later on. Probably the very Best oatcakes ive ever tasted-!!!! THANK YOU 🥰❤️❤️❤️

These are my favourite oatcakes. If you prefer them lighter then these are not for you, but I find them the tastiest and most satisfying oatcakes I've ever purchased.

They are nice. For me, they are not 100% healthy as too caloric, too much sodium and too fatty but good for protein and fibre. A better alternative to a bag of crisps or a bar of chocolate when you are on a go

I love these: thick and oaty (!), great as a bedtime snack but also excellent for cheese after dinner.

These are the best oatcakes you can buy for taste and crunch anywhere!
