About these crackers
Jacob's Cream Cracker Multipack 8 Snack Packs, in brief.
Jacob's Cream Crackers in eight small snack packs, 185g in all. The same plain, crisp cream cracker, portioned so each pack opens fresh: one for the lunchbox, one for the desk drawer, one for the picnic.
The recipe is short: fortified wheat flour, palm oil, salt, sodium bicarbonate and yeast. The label says the crackers may also contain sesame seeds, milk and egg.
The cream cracker is the everyday British cracker: square, plain, crisp and a little blistered, made to be buttered and topped with cheese. This multipack divides 185g into eight snack packs, which solves the cream cracker's one weakness: once a big pack is open, the last crackers go soft.
The recipe does not change. Wheat flour, palm oil and salt are raised with yeast and sodium bicarbonate, which is what gives a cream cracker its light, layered crispness and those characteristic bubbles on the surface.
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 plain, lightly salted, toasty flavour and a crisp, flaky snap. The label data gives 13.5g of fat, 1.4g of sugars and 1.3g of salt per 100g, with 4g of fibre.
What is in it
Flour (wheat flour, calcium, iron, niacin, thiamin), palm oil, salt, raising agent (sodium bicarbonate) and yeast. The label declares wheat (gluten) and says the crackers may also contain sesame seeds, milk and egg.
Serving it
Butter and Cheddar is the classic, with a slice of tomato or a spoon of pickle. In a lunchbox, pair a snack pack with a small tub of cheese spread or a wedge of 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 185g 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.
