About this deal

And, of course, there’s the classic cheese board. Great for both a post-dinner get-together and an afternoon treat. Picture a range of cheeses from a mature Cheddar to a Red Leicester to a nice soft Feta. Or perhaps even some stinky Stilton, a cheese that grabs you both by the tongue and the nose. Delicious. Most popular with customers in France, Italy, Germany, BFPO, Denmark, Romania, United States of America (USA), Japan and Greece, but you can buy Carrs Melts for delivery worldwide. Carr's business was both a mill and a bakery, an early example of vertical integration, and produced bread by night and biscuits by day. [3] The biscuits were loosely based on dry biscuits used on long voyages by sailors. [3] They could be kept crisp and fresh in tins, and despite their fragility could easily be transported to other parts of the country by canal and railway. [3] In 1831, Carr formed a small bakery and biscuit factory in the English city of Carlisle in Cumberland; he received a royal warrant in 1841. [1] Within 15 years of being founded, it had become Britain's largest baking business. [2] 1922 newspaper advertisement a b c "Company History". Carr’s Milling Industries.

Jonathan Carr protested against the Corn Laws, which placed steep tariffs on imported wheat to keep the price of British wheat artificially high. This meant bread was expensive even in times of famine. [4] Carr died in 1884, but by 1885, the company was making 128 varieties of biscuit and employing 1000 workers. [5]
