Jacob's Mini Cheddars Original Baked Snacks Christmas, 260g
The party bowl snack in its Christmas size: small, crisp, salty cheese rounds for a houseful.
Jacob's Mini Cheddars Original Baked Snacks Christmas, in brief.
Jacob's Mini Cheddars Original in a 260g Christmas pack: the small, round cheese snacks with 12% dried cheese in the dough, sold in a festive size for parties and the big day.
They are rich and savoury, with 2.5g of salt and 29.2g of fat per 100g on the label data, made for bowls on the coffee table rather than the cheese board.
Mini Cheddars are baked snacks: tiny, crisp rounds of short dough flavoured with dried cheese, yeast extract and dried whey. The Christmas pack puts 260g in one go, which is the size you want for a houseful over the holidays.
The recipe uses fortified wheat flour, palm and sunflower oils, dried cheese at 12% and a little sugar and glucose syrup for colour, lifted with raising agents and finished with lactic acid for a light tang.

Taste and texture
Expect a strong, salty, cheesy flavour and a crisp, crumbly bite. At 2.5g of salt per 100g they are properly salty, so they go well with a drink.

Flour (wheat flour, calcium, iron, niacin, thiamin), vegetable oils (palm, sunflower), dried cheese 12% (milk) (dried powdered cheese, natural flavouring, yeast extract from barley), sugar, glucose syrup, salt, dried whey (milk), barley malt extract, raising agents, lactic acid and natural flavourings. The label declares wheat and barley (gluten) and milk.
Serving it

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 260g 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.
