The Original Cook’s Matches

The Original Cook’s Matches are a staple in British kitchens, specifically designed for culinary and household use. These safety matches are notable for their extra-long splints and a 'wipe-clean' box designed to withstand the grease and spills common in kitchen environments. The product emphasizes sustainability, with the matches being produced from sustainable aspen trees and packaged in recyclable cardboard.

Historically, Cook's was a brand under the safety match giant Bryant & May. Today, the brand is owned and manufactured by Swedish Match, a company with deep roots in the global match industry dating back to the 19th century. Although Swedish Match was acquired by Philip Morris International, it remains the primary entity overseeing the production of these traditional match products in Sweden. In the UK, the brand is often distributed through major supermarket chains and is frequently associated with culinary partnerships, such as the one featured on the box with Chef Daniel Clifford of Midsummer House.
