About these crackers
Jacob's Original Cream Crackers, in brief.
Jacob's Original Cream Crackers, 200g: the plain, square, crisp cracker raised with yeast and made for butter and cheese. The ingredient list is five items long: fortified wheat flour, palm oil, salt, sodium bicarbonate and yeast.
The label gives one cracker as 8g, and the label data gives 439 kcal, 13.6g of fat and 1.28g of salt per 100g.
The cream cracker is the everyday cracker of British kitchens, and this is it in its standard pack. The dough is raised with yeast and a little sodium bicarbonate, rolled thin and baked until crisp, which is why a cream cracker has its light, layered crunch and the bubbles across the top.
Despite the name, there is no cream in the recipe. It is a plain cracker with a clean, toasty flavour that takes whatever you put on it.
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.

Taste and texture
Expect a plain, lightly salted, toasty flavour and a crisp, flaky bite. The label data gives only 0.6g of sugars per 100g and 3g 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).
Serving it
Butter and Cheddar, cheese and pickle, or ham and mustard for lunch; a stack beside soup; and on the cheese board, next to a mature Cheddar or a crumbly Lancashire.

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.
