About these crackers

Rakusen's of Yorkshire Matzos Flame Baked Cracker, in brief.

Rakusen's of Yorkshire Matzos in the 200g pack: flame baked unleavened crackers made from wheat flour and water, nothing else. The pack carries vegan and vegetarian claims.

Lean and plain at 1g of fat per 100g on the label data, they are the cracker to reach for when the topping should do all the talking.

Matzos are flat, unleavened and baked hot, so they blister and snap. Rakusen's of Yorkshire bakes these with two ingredients, wheat flour and water, which is the traditional matzo recipe.

The 200g pack is a good everyday size, and the crackers break easily into pieces for a board or crumble into cooking.

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.

Brand

The story behind Rakusen's

Rakusen's was established in 1900 in Leeds by Lloyd Rakusen, a watchmaker by trade, who began by baking matzos in his own back room. After his death in 1944 the company passed to his family, and Wikipedia records that it has been owned by Andrew Simpson since 2015, still operates in Leeds, and has all its products certified kosher by the London Beth Din. Matzo is unleavened bread: flour and water, baked fast and hot so it blisters and snaps. The Rakusen's matzos on our shelf list just wheat flour and water, which makes them among the plainest, leanest crackers we sell, a blank canvas for butter, cream cheese, smoked salmon or chopped liver.

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.
