About these crackers
Jacob's Biscuits for Cheese 8 Variety Cracker Selection, in brief.
Jacob's Biscuits for Cheese is a 300g selection box with eight varieties of cracker in one tray, a box made for a Christmas or dinner party cheese board. The label carries a vegetarian claim.
Among the eight you will find seeded, peppered and cheese flavoured crackers: the combined ingredient list includes sesame and poppy seeds, black pepper, wheatgerm and dried cheese.
A selection box is the easiest way to give every cheese its cracker. Jacob's puts eight varieties into one 300g box, laid in a tray so the thin ones survive, which means you can serve a soft cheese on something plain and a strong one on something with more character without opening three packs.
The combined label shows what the varieties bring: wheatgerm, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, black pepper, dried cheese and malted barley flour among them. It is a proper cheese board box rather than a snack mix.
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
Across the box the label data gives 20.2g of fat, 6.1g of sugars and 1.4g of salt per 100g. Expect textures from crisp and snappy to short and flaky, and flavours from plain to peppery and cheesy.
What is in it
The combined list begins with fortified wheat flour, palm oil, sugar, wheatgerm and salt, and includes dried powdered cheese (milk), barley and barley malt extract, sesame seeds, dried whey (milk), black pepper, malted barley flour, yeast and poppy seeds. The label declares wheat and barley (gluten), milk and sesame, and says the box may contain egg, mustard, nuts and soya.
Serving it
Lay the crackers out by style: plain ones by the Brie and Camembert, seeded and peppered ones by goat's cheese, and the richer ones by Cheddar and blue cheese. With three or four cheeses, grapes and chutney, one box makes a complete board.

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 300g 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.
