Jacob's Choice Grain Multigrain Crackers, 200g
A hearty multigrain cracker with bran, barley, rye and wheat: nutty and malty, made for mature Cheddar and blue cheese.
Jacob's Choice Grain Multigrain Crackers, in brief.
Jacob's Choice Grain is a multigrain cracker with wheat bran (4.5%), barley flakes (2%), kibbled rye (2%) and kibbled wheat (2%) in the dough. The grains give it a hearty, textured bite and 5.4g of fibre per 100g on the label data.
It is a cheese board cracker with character: nutty and malty, good with Cheddar and blue cheese. The label says it may also contain sesame seeds, milk, egg and soya.
A multigrain cracker earns its place on the board by bringing texture. Choice Grain folds wheat bran, barley flakes, kibbled rye and kibbled wheat into a fortified wheat dough, sweetened slightly with glucose syrup and malted with barley malt extract, then lifted with raising agents.
The result is crisp with little pieces of grain through it, which gives more to bite on than a plain cracker and a malty, nutty flavour that holds up next to a strong cheese.

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 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.
