PORTIONING OUT & MINCING

Hand weighed to the gram, trying our best to create a consistent product from our micro production kitchen. We find 50% wet, 50% dry ingredients binds the bars giving a succulent mouthfeel and texture. The dried fruits are minced like you might make your burgers! The flavour from the essential oils is also enhanced by the mincing process.

BLENDING

Adding all the ingredients and mixing all together into a dense and even consistency.

ROLLING OUT & CUTTING

If you want to shed your bingo wings, this shall do it! We empty the mix onto our stainless steel trays and roll them out, so they don’t have any holes and even levelling before they are cut, using very high-tech pizza cutters! Now wrapped and boxed for you to enjoy.

PLASTIC FREE PACKAGING QUESTIONS

We are Plastic Free - working on reaching the goal of no single use plastics and actively giving back to the environment.

What is the compostable material made from?

It's made from a biomaterial plant based source which has a base of wood-pulp. There is no use of GMO or chemicals in the packaging materials, which meets the Soil Association Organic standards.

Where is the wood pulp from?

It's from responsibly manged forests: FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme For Endorsement of Forest Certification).

What is the shelf life of the bar with compostable packaging?

12 months if stored in a cool dark place, the same as conventional flexible plastic packaging.

How is this helping the environment?

The majority of flexible plastics are made up of different material layers that are attached together and therefore cannot be broken down for recycling. Instead, they end up in incineration centers or they remain in landfills for hundreds of years. A material that is biodegradable will be broken down by biological processes. For a material to be certified as compostable, it must go a step further: a compostable material must break down, under the proper composting conditions, and the resulting elements will have value as a fertiliser.

Are the shelf ready boxes recyclable?

Yes they are so please dispose of these in the recycling waste stream.

Where are the products printed and packaged?

They're handmade, printed and packaged in the UK.

COMPOSTING

Where should I put the packaging?

After eating our delicious bars, you can put the wrapper in your regular bin, it will break down slowly, or it will be suitable for your garden waste. Don’t put this in your recycling!

What is industrial composting?

Businesses that don’t have their own compost heap, you can put the wrapper in your normal waste stream, this will be processed where the temperature is set to (55 to 60 c, EN13432).

Is it home compostable?

Yes, the wrappers are certified ‘Ok Home Compostable’. they will biologically decompose in a home composter (an ordinary compost heap or your local council’s food waste collection) and return goodness to the soil, behaving just like a orange peel would.

Sorry, there are no products in this collection.
