BCE Events

Biscuit making workshop - 5th - 6th March 2013

Biscuit makers and millers from North Africa participated in a two-day biscuit making workshop hosted by BCE, HGCA's export team.

Nine sector specialists attended the event, designed to promote the functionality of uks - a classification of wheat from the UK suitable for biscuit making.

Sessions during the workshop informed the delegates from Algeria, Morocco and Lebanon on aspects such as quality specifications, export classifications and future prospects. The event allowed delegates to make their own biscuits using uks wheat. This workshop was important for millers and biscuit manufacturers to learn, reasearch and use uks for themselves.
