About these crackers
Jacob's Cheddars Cheese Biscuits - Red Leicester Flavour, in brief.
Jacob's Cheddars Red Leicester are rich, crumbly cheese biscuits with 11% dried powdered cheese in the dough and a Red Leicester flavour. The pack carries a vegetarian claim.
They are the Red Leicester take on Cheddars: small enough to eat by the handful and rich, at 32.4g of fat per 100g.
Red Leicester is the orange, slightly nutty English cheese, and these Cheddars borrow its name. The dough is fortified wheat flour and palm oil with 11% dried powdered cheese, dried yeast and natural flavourings made with milk, lifted with raising agents into a short, crumbly biscuit.
Lactic acid adds a gentle tang, and barley malt extract a little colour. It is a snacking biscuit first: rich, savoury and made for 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 savoury, cheesy flavour with a light tang and a crumbly, short bite. The label data gives 523 kcal and 32.4g of fat per 100g, 16.1g of it saturates, and 1.5g of salt per 100g.
What is in it
Flour (wheat flour, calcium, iron, niacin, thiamin), palm oil, dried powdered cheese 11% (milk), raising agents, dried yeast, glucose syrup, natural flavourings (milk), sugar, barley, barley malt extract, dried whey (milk), lactic acid and salt. The label declares wheat and barley (gluten) and milk, and says the biscuits may contain egg, sesame and soya.
Serving it
Serve with drinks, pack into lunchboxes, or crumble over a bowl of soup. On a buffet they pair well with fresh, crunchy things: celery, apple and 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.
