Jacob's Mediterranean Pinch of Salt Crackers Multipack, 5 Pack 190g
A light, malty cracker with a pinch of salt, portioned into five packs so every lunch starts crisp.
Jacob's Mediterranean Pinch of Salt Crackers Multipack, in brief.
Jacob's Mediterranean Pinch of Salt crackers come in a multipack of five, 190g and 20 crackers in total according to the label, with each cracker 9.5g. A light, malty cracker finished with salt.
The recipe uses fortified wheat flour, palm oil, barley and barley malt extract, glucose syrup and salt, raised with ammonium and sodium bicarbonate. The label says it may also contain sesame seeds, milk and egg.
Mediterranean style crackers are about simple things done well: a light, crisp base and a pinch of salt. Jacob's version uses barley malt extract and malted barley flour, which give a golden colour and a gentle malty note, and raising agents that keep each cracker light.
The multipack splits 190g into five packs of four crackers, which keeps them crisp and makes portions easy for lunches.

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 190g 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.
