right, a quick search on roka cheese crispies produced this


Cheese Crispies Pesto 100 gram

The original ROKA cheese crispies, which are made from refined puff-pastry (90 layers) and over 30% carefully matured old Gouda cheese, are enriched with a Mediterranean touch of Pesto. Pesto is a fine blend of Ligurian basil (Italy), some grated pecorino or Parmigiano Reggiano, a touch of garlic and some extra-vierge olive oil. The major ingredient, basil, was used in ancient history by Coptic priests, to bless houses. Nowadays, the herb is still offered to guests to wish them prosperity. This 'Original crispy cheesebite' with a dash of Pesto goes delightfully well with a nice glass of wine and good friends

does this help?

Hi,

I am making a chocolate and orange cookie mix for a gift in the jar and adapting a normal double chocolate cookie recipe. Can I grate the zest of the orange into the jar? Will it work ok or go off? Or should I just give them an orange?

Thanks,

When are you giving the gifts? You could try grating orange, leaving it a few days, and see what happens Otherwise, I'd be tempted to give them a whole fruit, as the zest might taint the whole batch.

Instead of ordinary chocolate, maybe you could use chopped up chocolate orange? That way you'd get the orange taste without having to worry about fresh zest going off.

The zest will go off and the moisture in it will make the rest of the ingredients damp. I do like the suggestion of using orange chocolate though!

It's too late for me to buy some orange chocolate now so I'll have to stick with normal and just give them an orange! Thanks.

I'm doing it now and giving it to them on Monday.
