Vendor Spotlight -- Heritage Shortbread

Did you know that in addition to the beloved Leonidas Chocolates that we are known for we also carry a variety of other products including some of the most delicious shortbread in the world?
Heritage Shortbread in Original and Lemon flavors
We are not ashamed to say that we are shortbread snobs here at Love + Chocolate. We've wanted to carry a shortbread for awhile now -- to add to all our other amazing European confections -- but we just couldn't find one that met our standards until now!
The secret family recipe for Willow McGrain's Heritage Shortbread was never written, but handed down mother to daughter for generations. It was a treasured secret and the custodian of the recipe was honor bound not to reveal it. Late in her life, Willow McGrain’s mother, Margaret, bequeathed to her the family recipe.
Willow was blessed with the talent to replicate her mother’s recipe, but found that while the proper ingredients were essential for success, there was one important ingredient that had to come from the heart. It was not so much an ingredient, but a belief that this delicate shortbread could evoke a time before, with suggestions of her beloved Scotland, of home and hearth, and of the McGrain heritage.
Willow shares that belief. She understands the honor of having and the fear of breaking the legacy that has kept the McGrain recipe a family treasure for well over a century.
At first, she sent her shortbread off as presents for holiday gifts, weddings and other celebrations. As more people tasted her Scottish delicacy, the demand for this wondrous treat grew to such a degree that it became impossible for her not to share her family’s heritage.
Today, Willow McGrain lovingly bakes her Heritage Shortbread in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. She uses the same pure, natural ingredients that her grandmother used in Scotland. The same belief, that this shortbread can evoke joyful times past, is slipped into every box.
At Love + Chocolate we have several sizes and flavors to choose from, and they are all amazing and delicious. We carry three different flavors: Original, Lemon infused, and the new Chocolate-Dipped!
This is truly some of the best shortbread you will ever taste and the beautiful packaging makes it a coveted gift. Order online or come by the shop to try a sample!
