McVitie's: The Original Digestive, Baked from a Recipe Still Kept Secret
McVitie's began in 1839 as a small provision shop on Rose Street in Edinburgh, Scotland. A few years after joining the firm, Alexander Grant devised the first Digestive biscuit, and his secret recipe is still used today. Each original Digestive takes seven minutes to bake. Today McVitie's is part of pladis, a global snacking company, and it also gave the world HobNobs, with a chocolate version arriving in 1987.
Here you can discover the classic McVitie's Digestive Biscuits alongside Digestive Wheat Biscuits and a Vanilla Digestive twist. Chocolate fans can choose Dark Chocolate Digestives, Milk Chocolate Digestives and Milk Chocolate Covered Digestive Biscuits, plus Milk Chocolate HobNobs. Most come in boxes of 12, and the Milk Chocolate Digestives come in a box of 15.
These are biscuits made for the kettle. Set out a plate for afternoon tea, tuck a few packs into a gift basket for a friend who misses British biscuits, or keep a box in the cupboard for that timeless tea-and-dunk moment.
