Garibaldi Biscuits
A British favourite, garibaldi biscuits have a history dating back to the 19th century. These unique biscuits, with a layer of crushed raisins sandwiched between two thin rectangular sheets of biscuit dough, have been a popular snack for over 150 years.
The Historic of Garibaldi Biscuits
The origins of these biscuits are intertwined with the famous Italian figure, Giuseppe Garibaldi. An interesting anecdote emerged during his visit to South Shields, England in 1854.
Legend has it that he accidentally sat on two biscuits during a meeting with Joseph Cowen. However, a more substantiated theory is that Bermondsey biscuit company Peek Freans first produced garibaldi biscuits in 1861.
The biscuit is aptly named in honour of Garibaldi’s outstanding contribution to Italian history. It is a delicious tribute to his efforts to unify Italy.
Since then, the Garibaldi biscuit has infiltrated British households, becoming an inseparable companion to a steaming cup of tea or coffee.
Internationally, the Garibaldi biscuit is available in various variations. In Australia, it is called “Full o’ Fruit” and in New Zealand, it is called “Fruit Li Golden Fruit”. In the Netherlands, Verkade has been producing a similar biscuit called Sultana since 1935.
Factory-Made Garibaldi Biscuits
Now that we’ve delved into the rich history, let’s explore how these delicious cookies make their way through the biscuit production line at the factory.
The basis of the biscuit dough is high-quality plain flour. The dough is mixed with industrial machinery and the necessary ingredients are added to form a smooth dough.
The filling of garibaldi biscuits is usually raisin filling, and the use of industrial mixing equipment can ensure the filling tastes accurate.
The dough passes through high-precision forming machines to form the classic biscuit styles, and then it is baked. The baked biscuits pass through the assembly area to finally form perfect garibaldi biscuits.
