Jacob's Savours Thins, Sour Cream & Chive Crackers, 150g
A thin, crisp snacking cracker with a sour cream and chive tang: for the bowl rather than the cheese board.
Jacob's Savours Thins, in brief.
Jacob's Savours Thins Sour Cream and Chive are thin, crisp crackers flavoured with dried chives (1%), dried soured cream (1%), onion and whey. Light enough to snack on, flavoured enough to eat alone.
The label data gives 21.3g of fat, 16.5g of it saturates from coconut and palm oils, and 1.8g of salt per 100g. The label declares wheat (gluten) and milk.
Thins are the Savours for snacking: rolled thin, raised with ammonium and sodium bicarbonate and baked crisp, then flavoured. This one takes sour cream and chive, the cool, oniony pairing from a baked potato, and bakes it into the cracker.
The oils are coconut, palm and rapeseed, which give a rich, crisp bite. With 2.8g of sugars per 100g, the flavour is savoury rather than sweet.

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 150g 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.
