Product Information
As Grasmere Gingerbread® has NO additives or preservatives, please treat it like bread by consuming it within one week of purchase. Please store in an airtight container or tin like any other biscuit or cake. To maintain the chewy texture of Grasmere Gingerbread® keep refrigerated, but if you do not like to eat it hard bring it to room temperature for about ten minutes. You may also freshen or warm Grasmere Gingerbread® by placing it on a baking sheet in a conventional oven, moderate heat for a few minutes. It can be frozen on the day of purchase/receipt; defrost as you would with slices of bread - just take out the number of slices you intend to eat on the day.
