About our best-before dates

We work hard to bring proper British groceries to Canada, but importing food across an ocean is not as tidy as stocking a supermarket shelf down the road.

Some products arrive with long dates. Some arrive with shorter ones. Different products come through the import process with different shelf lives, so the dates are not always as neat or predictable as they would be in a regular Canadian supermarket.

Most online grocery shops do not show best-before dates unless something is getting close. We do it differently.

If you were shopping in our Halifax store, you could pick up the product, turn it over, and check the date before buying. We think our online customers should get that same level of transparency.

That is why we show best-before dates clearly on our products.

What "best before" actually means

A best-before date is about quality — flavour, texture, freshness, and how the product is expected to be at its best.

It is not the same as a "use by" or expiry date, which only appears on certain regulated foods.

For everyday groceries like chocolate, biscuits, crisps, sweets, tea, sauces, jams, and pantry items, the best-before date is a quality marker, not a safety marker.

Why our dates vary so much

British imports are unpredictable. We do not get to choose every date that arrives in Canada, and different products naturally come with different shelf lives.

A jar of sauce may have months or years on it. A bag of crisps might arrive with a much shorter window and still be completely normal for that type of product.

We check dates, show them clearly, and give you the information before you buy — because that is how it should be.

What the colours mean

  • More than 30 days remaining
  • Within 30 days
  • Within 5 days, or past the best-before date

The product page will still show the actual date, so you can decide what works for you.

Why some customers like shorter dates

Many of our regular customers deliberately shop shorter-dated items when the price makes sense.

A chocolate bar with two weeks left is often every bit as good as one with six months left — and if we can pass on a saving instead of letting perfectly good food go to waste, everyone wins.

It is not about cutting corners. It is about being clear, fair, and sensible with stock that has travelled a long way to get here.

About Highland Shortbread Chocolate Chip Rounds

About Highland Shortbread Chocolate Chip Rounds

Shortbread and chocolate chips is one of those combinations that sounds almost too straightforward to be worth remarking on, and yet here we are, because Highland Shortbread Chocolate Chip Rounds have a way of making the case for themselves the moment the tin is opened. These are a British biscuit, made in the United Kingdom, and available in Canada without anyone needing to smuggle them over in their hand luggage.

Each 135g pack contains Highland's chocolate chip rounds: a crumbly, buttery shortbread base with dark chocolate chips worked through. The texture is what shortbread should be, short and sandy rather than crisp, and the chocolate sits in it properly rather than sitting on top as an afterthought. It is a biscuit that knows what it is.

Highland is one of those shortbread names that British expats tend to recognise without quite being able to explain why, which is usually the sign of a brand that has been quietly doing its job for a long time. The Great British Shop carries the range imported from the UK, so if you are looking for Highland biscuits in Canada, this is the version people usually mean.

The 135g format is a sensible size: enough to share with reasonable generosity, or to work through over a few cups of tea without committing to anything too ambitious. The chocolate chips are dark, which keeps the whole thing from being overly sweet and gives the shortbread a bit more to work with.

Frequently asked questions about Highland Shortbread Chocolate Chip Rounds

Q: What do Highland Shortbread Chocolate Chip Rounds taste like?

A: Highland Shortbread Chocolate Chip Rounds have the crumbly, buttery texture you would expect from a traditional shortbread, with dark chocolate chips worked through the dough. The chocolate is semi-sweet rather than overpowering, so the two elements sit together without either one taking over. It is a fairly classic combination, and the rounds are the sort of thing that disappears faster than intended alongside a cup of tea.

Q: Are Highland Shortbread Chocolate Chip Rounds suitable for vegetarians?

A: Yes, Highland Shortbread Chocolate Chip Rounds are suitable for vegetarians. They contain wheat (gluten), milk, and soya, so they are not suitable for anyone with those allergies or intolerances. They are not vegan, as butter and full cream milk powder are both listed in the ingredients.

Q: Are these Highland Shortbread biscuits made in the UK?

A: Yes, these are a UK import. Highland Shortbread Chocolate Chip Rounds are made in the United Kingdom, and the Highland name has long been associated with Scottish-style shortbread. For people in Canada who grew up with a tin of proper British shortbread at Christmas, the format and flavour will be immediately familiar. It is the sort of biscuit that earns its place in a British grocery order.

More about Highland Shortbread Chocolate Chip Rounds

Shortbread rounds with chocolate chips occupy a specific corner of the British biscuit aisle: not a plain shortbread finger, not a chocolate-covered biscuit, but something in between that tends to appeal to people who find plain shortbread a little austere. Highland sits comfortably in this category, and their chocolate chip rounds are a straightforward example of a style that has been a fixture in Scottish baking for a long time.

For British expats in Canada, shortbread is one of those things that is easy to approximate but harder to replicate exactly. The particular texture of a Scottish shortbread round, that sandy, crumbling quality, is what people tend to be looking for when they search for British biscuits in Canada, and it is not always easy to find the right version without knowing where to look.

The 135g pack is a sensible size: enough for a few sittings, small enough to store easily. Once opened, keeping them in an airtight container holds the texture better than leaving the packet folded over on a shelf, which shortbread will always punish you for eventually.

Highland produces a range of shortbread in Canada worth exploring if these rounds suit you, and they sit naturally alongside other British biscuits for anyone building out a proper tea-time selection.

The rounds ship from within Canada, so there is no overseas parcel delay to contend with. Whether you are in Toronto, Halifax, or Moncton, they arrive in reasonable time and store well once they do.
