Salisbury's are right, you can taste the difference. The `Taste the Difference` scones come in packs of four, they cost around £1.39 a pack and have the maroon and silver packaging that is reserved exclusively for Sainsbury's `Taste the Difference` products.



These sultana scones are really indulgent, they are baked using Cornish Clotted cream and fresh Cornish butter and this is reflected in the overall quality of the product.
Each scone is a good size, the top of the scone is a rich golden brown and the scones are heavily packed with plump sultanas which seem to ooze out of the sides.
When you cut into the scone you find that the texture is slightly moist, I prefer that, many of the cheaper varieties seem to crumble badly when you cut them in half. The fruit is there in abundance and the scone doesn't crumble away under the pressure of the butter knife either.


The scones do contain milk, egg and wheat gluten and due to the way the product has been manufactured they are not recommended for anyone who suffers from a nut allergy.
They have used caster sugar to sweeten the scones and free range eggs to add richness.
Each scone has 239 calories, so if you are a member of Weight watchers then these scones will be out of bounds.
Fat content is 8.1g and Saturated fat content is 5.3g, there is 17.2g of sugar and 0.88g of salt.
So the scones may well be delicious but they are high in fats and sugars so you might prefer to save them for a special treat.


The scones are best eaten on the day of purchase because the soft moist texture soon changes. You can tell if a scone is past its best very quickly, but if I have one left the next day I put it into the microwave for a few seconds, the blast of warmth makes the scone feel relatively fresh again.
My favourite way of enjoying a scone has to be with jam and clotted cream, a good spoonful of strawberry jam and a large blob of clotted cream makes them as near to perfection as possible.


These scones cant be frozen but I can`t see them lingering long enough to need freezing anyway.
They are the perfect treat for a family tea or a special occasion and are well worth the extra penny or two.
