McVitie's Digestives Dark Chocolate

McVitie's Digestives are a world-famous brand of biscuits with deep historical roots in Scotland. The brand originated in 1830 in Edinburgh, founded by Robert McVitie. The iconic 'Digestive' biscuit recipe was first developed by Alexander Grant in 1892, and the chocolate-covered variety followed in 1925.

Originally part of United Biscuits, the brand has undergone several changes in ownership. Today, McVitie's is owned by pladis, a global snacking company established in 2016. While largely associated with British heritage and manufactured extensively in the UK (notably in Harlesden and Manchester), the brand's immense global footprint means production also takes place in various international sites to serve local markets. The brand remains a staple of British tea culture and is exported to over 100 countries.
