Jacob's
The cream cracker makers: Dublin in 1853, Aintree since 1914.
Jacob's began with W. and R. Jacob's steam biscuit factory in Dublin in 1853, and it was making cream crackers from around 1885: the plain, crisp, blistered square raised with yeast that is still the everyday cracker of British kitchens. In 1914 Jacob's opened its first English factory at Aintree, Liverpool, which Wikipedia records as the main UK producer of Jacob's products today. The range has grown far beyond the cream cracker. On our shelf you will find Cheddars and Mini Cheddars, the rich, flaky Cornish Wafers, Krackawheat with 31% ryemeal, Choice Grain, the potato based Bites, TUC, flatbreads, crispbreads and the Biscuits for Cheese selection box.

Curator says · Lee on Jacob's
Jacob's covers more of the cracker shelf than any other maker we stock: the everyday cream cracker, the cheesy snacks and the Christmas selection box. Start with the cream cracker and a mature Cheddar.
