If you have any questions relating to our products, our process, ingredients, shelf lives or other fudge related questions, please see below:
Products
Are all Ochil Fudge products hand-made?
All our fudge is made by Ochil Fudge, it is made by hand by our incredibly skilled fudgetiers fresh, every single day.
Are all Ochil Fudge products Vegetarian/Vegan-friendly?
All fudges created by Ochil Fudge are vegetarian-friendly. We do not currently create vegan fudge, but are working on a vegan/dairy free fudge recipe that meets our high standards for both quality and taste!
Are all Ochil Fudge products Gluten-Free?
All fudge created by Ochil Fudge is 100% gluten-free, our kitchen is free from all gluten products and we regularly have our products tested by an independent lab to ensure they remain so.. Keep an eye out for our 100% Gluten-Free badge on our fudge product pages and packaging.
What are the shelf life (Best Before Dates) of Ochil Fudge products?
As we use no artificial preservatives in our fudge, our fudges have different shelf-lives depending on what base the fudge is made from (this translates to what category or collection these fudges are in on our online store).
Butter Fudge: 10-11 weeks
Cream Fudge: 4-5 weeks
Scottish Tablet: 9-10 weeks
Is there a physical Ochil Fudge store I can purchase fudge from?
There is no physical shop for Ochil Fudge. We supply a range of stockists all over Scotland and England, a list of which can be found here on our Stockists page. We also offer Local Pickup for orders that meet the correct requirements so if you live locally you can order on-line and then pick up from our production unit.
Can I freeze fudge?
We recommend you store your fudge in a cool dry place and consume it before its shelf-life expires.
If you have the self-control to save your fudge, our fudge can be frozen for later use. Make sure to defrost properly before eating and very importantly, remove it from its packaging to allow it to reach temperature. Frozen fudge may appear shiny while thawing, this is natural and will clear up.
Does your fudge contain artificial preservatives?
No artificial preservatives are used in the creation of any of our fudge. Sugar is a natural preservative and will help ensure your fudge lasts, in the correct environment, for as long as the shelf-life states. We are committed to keeping our fudge natural and handmade and stay away from artificial additives whenever possible.
Ordering
How do I select fudges for a 4 Fudge Gift Box?
When building a 4 Fudge Gift Box, simply scroll down through the box on the left-hand side of the product, and either click or drag your desired fudge into the box on the right. When all four slots are filled, the ADD TO BASKET button will appear. Any combination of the shown fudges can be chosen.
If I choose a specific fudge can you guarantee it will be available or in stock?
In the main we can supply all our fudges at all times however, as you can imagine with such a wide range there are periods, due to high volumes of orders (October to December mainly), it may be that we take a little longer than normal to fulfil orders.
I have a discount code, how do I use it?
At checkout, there is a box on the right side of the page where you can enter the discount code.

Can I order for a specific date?
Yes, if you communicate with us at the time of ordering we will do our utmost to ensure delivery requests are met. We are however at the behest of the Royal Mail so as long as they do their job, most things can be achieved.
