A Dorset Knob is a hard dry savoury biscuit made by Moores Biscuits in Dorset, England, in Morcombelake four miles west of Bridport in the west of the county.
Dorset Knobs are typically eaten with cheese (for example, Dorset Blue Vinney). They are very crumbly and rather like very dry stale bread in consistency. They are normally sold in a distinctive and traditional tin, in which they keep well.
The Moores family have baked biscuits in Dorset since before 1860. The bakery was established in 1880, making a variety of traditional biscuits in addition to the Dorset Knob. A Dorset Knob throwing competition is held in the Dorset village of Cattistock every year on the first Sunday in May.[1]
