Dean’s of Huntly has won the Best Biscuit Tin category in the Good Food Christmas Taste Awards 2024.
The Aberdeenshire-based shortbread maker took the award for its 400g Scottish Shortbread Selection, which it produces for M&S as part of the retailer’s Food Collection.
Baked in small batches, the selection includes all butter shortbread fingers, all butter butterscotch shortbread rounds, all butter honey shortbread squares, and all butter shortbread rounds coated in smooth milk chocolate.
Dean’s uses handcrafted baking methods to produce shortbread “with the perfect melt in the mouth texture”.
Managing director Bill Dean commented: “As a new supplier to M&S, we are absolutely thrilled that the Collection Shortbread Selection Tin was awarded Best Biscuit Tin category in the newly released Good Food Christmas Taste Awards 2024. To receive plaudits like this is always welcoming and even more so when recognition comes at such an early stage in any new supply partnership.”
The award-winning tin is available in-store at M&S and online from Ocado.
