Frequently Asked Questions
What types of custards are available?
Our collection features a variety of custards including classic vanilla, chocolate, ready-to-eat pudding pots, and ambient shelf-stable options. We stock both British favourites and international brands for diverse flavours that suit different preferences.
How should I store custards?
Ambient custards can be kept in a cool, dry cupboard until opened, then refrigerated. Chilled varieties should be stored in the fridge at 4-8°C and consumed within the best-before date. Always check packaging for specific instructions.
Are these custards suitable for baking?
Yes, many of our pouring custards are heat-stable and perfect for baking in tarts, pies, or crèmes brûlées. Look for 'baking custard' labels for the best results in recipes.
Do you offer vegan or dairy-free custards?
We have a growing selection of plant-based custards made from coconut, almond, or oat milk. Filter by dietary needs to find options free from dairy, eggs, and gluten.
What's the difference between custard powder and ready-made custard?
Custard powder is a dry mix you prepare with milk for fresh custard, ideal for custom thickness. Ready-made is pre-cooked and convenient for immediate use in desserts or snacks.
