Jacob's Savours Bakes Salt & Cracked Black Pepper Crackers, 200g
A simple salt and pepper cracker with poppy seeds: crisp, barely sweet and good with soft cheeses.
Jacob's Savours Bakes Salt & Cracked Black Pepper Crackers, in brief.
Jacob's Savours Bakes Salt and Cracked Black Pepper are crisp, seasoned crackers made with fortified wheat flour, palm oil, salt, black pepper and poppy seeds, raised with sodium bicarbonate. A peppery cracker with a clean finish, made for cheese and for snacking.
The label data gives 17.6g of fat, 0.6g of sugars and 1.28g of salt per 100g, and says the crackers may also contain sesame seeds and milk.
Savours Bakes are the everyday seasoned cracker: plain enough to put under a slice of cheese, flavoured enough to eat from the box. This version keeps the seasoning simple, salt and cracked black pepper with a scattering of poppy seeds, on a dough raised with sodium bicarbonate.
The ingredient list is short, and there is almost no sugar (0.6g per 100g), so the pepper is the flavour you notice. It works on a cheese board next to plainer crackers and on its own with a drink.

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.
