Jacob's Smoked Cheddar Flavour Baked Cheddars, 150g
The smoky one: Cheddars with smoked salt in the dough, rich and salty, made for a dark beer.
Jacob's Smoked Cheddar Flavour Baked Cheddars, in brief.
Jacob's Smoked Cheddar Baked Cheddars are rich, crumbly cheese biscuits with 8% dried powdered cheese (half of it Cheddar) and smoked salt in the dough. The smoke gives a deeper, bonfire style savour than the original.
They are properly salty at 2.16g of salt per 100g and rich at 32.1g of fat per 100g: a snack biscuit for drinks, not a cracker for topping.
Smoked cheese has its own following, and these Cheddars bring the flavour to a snacking biscuit. Alongside the usual fortified wheat flour, palm oil and dried powdered cheese, the recipe uses smoked salt, which carries the smoky note through every bite.
The dough is lifted with ammonium and sodium bicarbonate, so the biscuits bake short and crumbly. Dried autolysed yeast and natural flavourings made with milk round out the savoury taste.

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.
