Tracking down a good wheat-free (WF) oatcake is harder than you might initially realise. Surely they’re all made that way, I hear you say, the clue is in the title. Sadly not. And the challenge is really on to find one that's free of palm oil (POF) and organic (O). Below I give you my top favourite oatcakes, starting from the top...
1st Place: Paterson's 'Organic Oatcakes (WF, O, POF) As their website proudly claims their '...oatcake range is also completely free from palm oil so are orang-utan friendly'. They are absolutely delicious, great depth of flavour and suitably crunchy without falling to pieces too easily. I can count 7 varieties in their range, plus 2 flavours of oatbites and oatcrackers too. www.wildaboutoats.com/
2nd Place: Simpsons of Speyside's 'Olive Oil Oatcakes' - (WF, POF) One of their range of 10 different wheat-free varieties, Simpsons has produced a delicious oatcake that meets all requirements. They use organic oats supplied from nearby and use extra-virgin olive oil. For a taste preview, go online to order or hold your breath just a little while until their Edinburgh suppliers are confirmed - details to come... http://www.simpsonsoatcakes.com/
3rd Place: Nairns 'Organic Oatcakes'- (WF, O) Nairn's range is entirely wheat-free, consisting of 6 varieties of oatcakes, plus a selection of oat biscuits and oat bites. All oatcakes (with the exception of the minis) come in sets of 6, making them perfect for a handbag handy. While the 'organic oatcakes' contain palm oil, they have been a firm favourite until recently and are readily available, both in local shops and supermarkets. http://www.nairns-oatcakes.com/
