About these crackers
Jacob's Cornish Wafers Crackers, in brief.
Jacob's Cornish Wafers are rich, flaky, layered crackers made from just fortified wheat flour, palm oil, wheat starch and salt. There is no raising agent in the list: flaky crackers like these get their layers from fat worked through the dough.
The pack carries a vegetarian claim and says it may contain milk. At 29.1g of fat and only 0.4g of sugars per 100g, they are rich but not sweet, a cracker for Cheddar and strong cheeses.
Cornish Wafers sit at the rich end of the cracker shelf. They bake into thin, flaky layers, so a Cornish Wafer shatters into fine flakes when you bite it. The ingredient list is one of the shortest we carry: flour, palm oil, wheat starch and salt.
That richness and flakiness make them a cheese cracker with character. They stand up to a crumbly Cheddar or Wensleydale, and they bring a buttery style texture that plain water biscuits do not.
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.

Curator’s notes
Read the full write-up
Taste and texture
Expect a rich, toasty, lightly salted flavour (0.83g of salt per 100g) with almost no sweetness (0.4g of sugars per 100g) and a flaky, layered texture. The label data gives 533 kcal and 29.1g of fat per 100g.
What is in it
Flour (wheat flour, calcium, iron, niacin, thiamin), palm oil, wheat starch and salt. The label declares wheat (gluten) and says the crackers may contain milk. The pack carries a vegetarian claim.
Serving it
Serve with crumbly Cheddar, Wensleydale or Lancashire, or with a strong blue. They also suit pâté, and a slice of Cheddar with apple on a Cornish Wafer is a simple lunch.

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.
