Creating shortbread is something that Scottish baker Paterson's has been doing for a long time - since 1895. As it promotes itself as "Britain's number one shortbread", I thought it would be a good marker to compare this grand dame of the shortbread fingers to own brands by Asda, Sainsbury's, Lidl, Marks & Spencer and more. We’ll be looking to enhance the company’s presence in this sector, building on what is undoubtedly a leading capability in this market.”​There's an art to these buttery, crumbly biscuits that are a favourite of Hollywood star Nicholas Cage. Even the Queen had her own Balmoral recipe of shortbread made to her royal tastes.

I didn't think that original Scottish shortbread could be beaten on taste but expected it to be more expensive than in-house brands. Neither of those ended up being true.
