About these crackers
Carr's Cracker Selection, in brief.
Carr's Cracker Selection is a boxed assortment of Carr's crackers, sold as "A Collection of Carr's Finest Quality Biscuits". It is the easy way to put several shapes and styles on one cheese board from a single box.
The 200g box comes with a card outer and a plastic tray inside, so the crackers travel and store well. The mix of crackers in your box is printed on the pack.
A selection box solves the most common cheese board problem: one cracker rarely suits every cheese. With several Carr's styles in one box, a plain, crisp cracker can sit next to something richer, and guests can match their own.
The box is laid out in a plastic tray inside a card outer, which keeps the different shapes apart and stops the thinner ones breaking on the way home. It makes a tidy present too, next to a cheese or a jar of chutney.
Curator notes: the tasting profile is our own editorial assessment against the current pack format and the maker's published description. The pack in your hand is always the final word on ingredients and allergens.

Taste and texture
Because this is a mixed box, the textures run from crisp to short. The label data gives 17.2g of fat and 1.8g of salt per 100g across the selection, richer and saltier than a plain water biscuit alone, which reflects the richer crackers in the mix.
What is in it
Each cracker in the selection has its own recipe, and the full ingredient list for the box, with allergens in bold, is printed on the pack. Please read it before serving anyone with an allergy.
Serving it
Lay the crackers out by style: the plainest next to soft cheeses such as Brie, the richer ones next to firm cheeses such as Cheddar and Red Leicester. A selection box and three cheeses is a complete board for four to six people.

The story behind Carr's
Carr's began in 1831, when Jonathan Dodgson Carr opened a small bakery and biscuit factory in Carlisle, with a flour mill alongside it: bread was baked by night and biscuits by day, and in 1841 the business won a royal warrant. The biscuit that made the name is the table water biscuit, a thin, crisp, plain cracker of flour, fat and salt, docked with holes and baked flat so it carries cheese without competing with it. Today the range runs from the table water biscuit in regular and large sizes, plain and with cracked black pepper, to the richer, flakier Melts and a cracker selection box. On our shelf the table water biscuit is the plain partner for soft and delicate cheeses, and the Melts are the choice for snacking and mild toppings.
Packaging: a 200g pack. Once the pack is open, fold it tightly closed or tip the crackers into an airtight tin, and keep them somewhere cool and dry. Damp air is what softens a cracker. The pack gives the best before date.
