Festive Shaped Shortbread Cookies - Christmas Tin (12.6 oz)

The Walkers story began over a century ago in 1898, when the twenty-one-year-old Joseph Walker opened a bakery in the Scottish Highlands with a £50 loan and the dream of creating the world's finest shortbread. In the first year, Joseph dedicated every spare moment to perfecting his shortbread recipe, and his efforts paid off as his reputation and demand for his quality products grew. As the business expanded, Joseph's sons, James and Joseph, joined the company, bringing fresh ideas that led to the introduction of cakes, confectionery, and the company's first delivery van. Even as other manufacturers began using margarine instead of butter, the Walkers family remained committed to Joseph's original recipe, using only the finest ingredients to ensure the superior quality of their products.

Over the decades, the business continued to grow, with the third generation of Walkers, including Joseph, James, and Marjorie, joining the family firm. In 1975, Walkers outgrew their extended bakery and moved to a custom-built factory, allowing them to develop new products like Chocolate Chip Shortbread and specialty cookies. By the 1970s, Joseph's grandchildren had begun exporting Walkers shortbread to over 60 countries around the world, still baking to his original recipe. Their commitment to quality and tradition earned them three Queen's Awards for Export Achievement, the highest accolade given to British exporters.

Today, Walkers remains a fifth-generation, family-run business, proudly carrying on Joseph's original dream and recipe. Their holiday gift tin features "glint" graphics that add a touch of sparkle, making it a perfect present for the whole family to enjoy. The cookies inside are delicious, made with the finest ingredients, including pure butter, without any artificial colorings or flavorings. Walkers' customers around the world can delight in the traditional shortbreads and innovative new products like almond, ginger, and luxurious chocolate-covered shortbread, all packaged in the brand's unmistakable red tartan design.

The quality and natural goodness of Walkers' products have earned them numerous international awards, including five gold Mondiale medals and the Food from Britain Innovation Award. As the company continues to evolve, they remain true to Joseph Walker's original ideals, using only the finest ingredients and traditional recipes to create a taste of Scotland that is sure to make the holiday season memorable.
