McKenzie

McKenzie is an independent Aberdeenshire biscuit maker, run by Gerry McKenzie, son of the founder of the Turriff bakery opened in 1952. We stock the Large Butter Biscuits, a traditional biscuit of the north-east of Scotland usually eaten with butter, cheese or pâté, because it is a proper regional biscuit from a family bakery rather than a national brand's plain line.

About McKenzie

McKenzie is an independent biscuit maker in Aberdeenshire. McKenzie Biscuits was established in 1981 and is owned and managed by Gerry McKenzie, son of the founder of McKenzie Bakers, the Turriff bakery his father opened in 1952 and which still trades today. Baking in Cuminestown and Turriff, the company began with sweet cookie-style biscuits and grew into savoury biscuits and oatcakes made to traditional Scottish recipes.

McKenzie suits the cheese board more than the biscuit barrel. A butter biscuit is built to carry something, so split one with salted butter and a sharp cheddar, or marmalade at breakfast, and pour a robust, malty cup alongside: an Assam or a Scottish breakfast blend. Anyone expecting a rich shortbread will be surprised; the point is what goes on top.
