The Your Piece Baking Co. sells a range of products including oatcakes, porridge bars, cereal and shortbread, and only uses oats sourced from farms in Scotland.
Their products are often seen in local produce hampers, and were recently part of a virtual whisky tasting.
The Fife cut oatcakes are made with rolled oats and a small amount of brown sugar, and are described by the team at the bakery as the 'world's greatest oatcake.'
They say: "The chunky “Fife Cut” format is a meal in itself and is as good with raspberry jam at breakfast as it is with a hunk of cheese at supper time."
