About these crackers
Jacob's Baked Cheddars Cheese Crackers, in brief.
Jacob's Baked Cheddars are small, round cheese biscuits made with dried powdered cheese (11%, of which half is Cheddar), baked until short and crumbly. They taste of cheese straight from the pack.
At 33g of fat per 100g they are rich, and at 1.57g of salt per 100g they are properly savoury, which makes them a snack for drinks and lunchboxes more than a base for toppings. The label gives one cracker as 3.8g.
Cheddars are cheese biscuits in the English style: a short, rich dough with cheese baked into it, so the flavour is in the biscuit rather than on top. The recipe uses fortified wheat flour and palm oil, dried powdered cheese at 11% (half of it Cheddar), dried autolysed yeast and a natural flavouring made with dried cheese and whey.
Raising agents lift the dough just enough to make the biscuits light and crumbly. The result is a small, savoury round that disappears quickly from a bowl.
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.

Read the full write-up
Taste and texture
Expect a strong cheesy, savoury flavour, a little malt from barley malt extract, and a short, crumbly bite. Fat is 33g per 100g, of which 16.4g saturates, and sugars are low at 4.2g per 100g.
What is in it
Flour (wheat flour, calcium, iron, niacin, thiamin), palm oil, dried powdered cheese (11%, of which Cheddar 50%) (milk), dried autolysed yeast, raising agents (ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate), glucose syrup, sugar, barley and barley malt extract, natural flavouring (with dried cheese and whey, milk), dried whey (milk), lactic acid, salt and natural flavourings. The label declares wheat and barley (gluten) and milk.
Serving it
Serve them in a bowl with drinks, in lunchboxes, or on the side of a ploughman's. They are rich enough to eat alone, so pair them with something fresh: apple slices, celery or grapes.

The story behind Jacob's
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.
Packaging: a 150g 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.
