BAKERY, CONFECTIONERY, CHOCOLATE AND SNACKS
D
orset’s kitchens have long been
known to turn out a treat or two.
The iconic Dorset Knob biscuit dates
back to the 1860s and there are
family-run bakeries who have been
delivering our daily bread for over a
hundred years.
Baking in the county goes from
reassuringly sturdy pies and puddings,
often made without the aid of gluten,
to impressive celebration cakes worthy
of their own Instagram feed.
Chocolate has proved to be a great
vehicle for collaboration. Chocolatiers
have infused their confectionery with
local and seasonal flavours from other
producers with award-winning results.
Visit our members’ shops and you
will often see them making their
products. Many of the snacks, cakes
and confectionery in this section can
be bought from the maker’s stall at
a market or event. It’s a great way
to sample some of Dorset’s most
delicious food.
