Nairn's Marmite & Cheese Oatcakes, 200g
For Marmite lovers: 9% Marmite and 6% cheese in a wholegrain oatcake, deep, salty and savoury.
Nairn's Marmite & Cheese Oatcakes, in brief.
Nairn's Marmite and Cheese Oatcakes put two strong savoury flavours into a Scottish oatcake: Marmite (9%) and cheese (6%), on a base of 75% wholegrain oats.
The label declares oats, wheat, barley and rye (gluten) from the Marmite yeast extract, milk from the cheese, and celery from the natural flavouring. Fibre is 7.8g per 100g on the label data.
Marmite divides people, and this oatcake is for the ones who love it. Nairn's bakes 9% Marmite and 6% cheese into a dough that is mostly wholegrain oats, so the yeasty, salty depth of Marmite comes through with a cheesy edge and the nutty oats underneath.
The Marmite brings its own ingredients: yeast extract made from barley, wheat, oats and rye, vegetable juice concentrate, vitamins and a natural flavouring with celery. Oligofructose adds a little fibre.

Serving it
Butter them, or top with a slice of Cheddar and a thin slice of tomato. They suit a bowl of vegetable soup, and they are a good late night snack for Marmite lovers.

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 200g 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.
