They are the most savoury of the Melts range and taste of cheese before you have added any.At 23.2g of fat per 100g they are tender and flaky rather than hard, which makes them a snacking cracker as much as a cheese board one. Put them out with drinks, in a lunchbox, or alongside a cheese board as the cheesy option.Ingredients and dietary: Contains gluten and contains milk. Recipes and factory arrangements change, so check the allergy advice on the pack you receive.Packaging: a 150g pack.

The pack gives the best before date.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. ## Description Carr's Melts are built for a softer, richer bite than the table water biscuit. The dough uses coconut and palm oils and is raised with ammonium and sodium bicarbonate, which gives a light, layered crumb that melts on the tongue rather than snapping. The cheese version adds 9% dried cheese powder, onion and a natural flavouring made with whey and lactose, then a scattering of poppy seeds.That makes these the Melts to reach for when you want the cracker itself to carry flavour. They are good on their own with a drink, and they suit mild toppings that would be lost on a stronger base.Taste and textureExpect a savoury, cheesy flavour with onion in the background and a little sweetness (7.3g of sugars per 100g). Salt is noticeable at 2.2g per 100g. The texture is short and flaky, closer to a savoury biscuit than a dry cracker.What is in itWheat flour, coconut and palm oils, dried cheese powder (9%, milk), sugar, dried onion, natural flavouring containing dried whey and lactose (milk), raising agents, poppy seeds, salt and carotenes for colour.
