Nairn's Fine Oatcakes, 218g
The smooth oatcake: finely milled wholegrain oats, four ingredients, vegan on the label, and good with any cheese.
Nairn's Fine Oatcakes, in brief.
Nairn's Fine Oatcakes are made from finely milled wholegrain oats, 88% of the recipe, with palm fruit oil, sea salt and sodium bicarbonate. The pack carries vegan and vegetarian claims, and the label data gives Scotland as the place of manufacture.
Fine milled oats give a smoother, more even oatcake than the rough style, with 9g of fibre per 100g on the label data.
Oatcakes come in two main styles: rough, with a coarse, open texture, and fine, milled smooth for an even, tighter crumb. Nairn's Fine Oatcakes are the smooth kind, 88% wholegrain oats, baked into thin rounds that break cleanly and sit flat under a topping.
With only four ingredients, the flavour is all toasted oats, which makes them one of the most versatile crackers for cheese.

The story behind Nairn's
Nairn's story begins in 1896, when John and Sarah Nairn opened their bakery in Strathaven, a market town in Lanarkshire. Today Nairn's bakes in Edinburgh, and oats are the whole point: oatcakes rough and fine, cheese oatcakes, seeded and organic oatcakes, and a gluten free range. The oatcake is the Scottish cracker, mostly wholegrain oats with a little oil and salt, baked into a nutty, crumbly round that loves strong cheese; Nairn's Rough Oatcakes list 90% wholegrain oats. The gluten free oatcakes, crackers and flatbreads are made with gluten free oats, and Nairn's own label notes that some people who avoid gluten also react to avenin, a protein in oats.
Packaging: a 218g pack. Once the pack is open, fold it tightly closed or tip the crackers into an airtight tin, and keep them somewhere cool and dry. Damp air is what softens a cracker. The pack gives the best before date.
