Savor the legendary Ooty Special Varkey in its generous Big size — a GI-tagged bakery masterpiece that has delighted generations for over 200 years. This authentic Nilgiris delicacy is handcrafted by master bakers in Ooty using a time-honored traditional recipe that has been carefully preserved and passed down through the centuries.

Traditional Firewood Oven Baking: Each batch of our Big Varkey is baked in traditional firewood ovens, following the same artisanal method used for two centuries. The slow, even heat from the firewood creates the signature crisp, flaky layers and imparts a subtle smoky aroma that modern ovens simply cannot replicate. This patient, traditional approach ensures every biscuit achieves the perfect golden-brown color and satisfying crunch that Varkey is famous for.

GI-Tagged Authenticity: Ooty Varkey proudly holds a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, certifying it as an exclusive delicacy of the Nilgiris region. This prestigious recognition guarantees authenticity and protects the traditional methods that make Varkey a truly special heritage food.

Handmade Craftsmanship: Our skilled bakers prepare each Varkey entirely by hand, carefully layering the dough to create the characteristic flaky texture that melts in your mouth. The subtle hint of cardamom adds a warm, aromatic note that perfectly complements the rich, buttery flavor. The Big size offers more of this delightful texture in every piece, making it perfect for those who love the authentic Ooty taste.

Perfect Tea-Time Companion: The Big Varkey is the quintessential pairing for Nilgiris tea, a combination beloved by hill-station residents and visitors for generations. Whether you're enjoying a leisurely afternoon chai or hosting guests, these authentic biscuits bring the nostalgic flavors of Ooty's culinary heritage to your table. The larger size makes them ideal for sharing or savoring slowly with your favorite brew.

Ideal for Gifting & Sharing: Share the taste of Ooty's 200-year-old tradition with family and friends. The Big Varkey makes a thoughtful gift that tells a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and the timeless flavors of the Nilgiris hills. Packed fresh from our Ooty bakery to preserve maximum crispness and flavor.

Authentic Taste of the Nilgiris – Since the 1800s

Ooty Special Varkey is not just a biscuit — it is a heritage bakery creation from the Blue Mountains of South India. Recognised with a Geographical Indication (GI) tag in 2022, this iconic snack represents generations of craftsmanship passed down through traditional Ooty bakeries.

At OotyMade.com, we bring you factory-fresh varkey made using the original method — slow-fermented dough, hand-shaped pieces, and baked in traditional firewood ovens to achieve its signature flaky texture and golden finish.

HOW WE MAKE OOTY SPECIAL VARKEY

Our process stays true to tradition.

1. Fresh Dough Preparation

Every batch begins with premium wheat flour, ghee, vegetable oil, Nilgiris water, and our secret Mava blend.

2. Artisan Hand-Crafting

Skilled bakers fold, knead, and shape each piece by hand — just like it has been done for generations.

3. Natural Fermentation

The dough rests overnight, developing its signature crumbly texture and rich flavour.

4. Firewood Oven Baking

Varkeys are baked in traditional brick ovens using firewood — giving them their authentic aroma and golden crust.

5. Fresh Packing

Once cooled, the biscuits are carefully packed to retain freshness and crunch before being shipped to your doorstep.
