About Jacob's Mini Cheddars Red Leicester Grab Bag

About Jacob's Mini Cheddars Red Leicester Grab Bag

The bag is small. Your willpower is smaller. Jacob's Mini Cheddars Red Leicester Grab Bag is the lunchbox classic in its sharper, redder mood, and it rarely survives the walk back from the shop.

Little round cheesy biscuits, the ones that lived in packed lunches, came back from the pub bar with a pint and turned up crushed at the bottom of a school bag. The Red Leicester ones have that deeper cheese flavour their fans will defend at length.

The last one is always a broken half. Nobody knows how.

This is the UK bag, and it ships from within Canada.

Frequently asked questions about Jacob's Mini Cheddars Red Leicester Grab Bag

Q: How much is in a grab bag?

A: It is the single-serve bag, 45g, the one you would find in a British meal deal. Enough for one person, assuming that person is not sharing.

Q: How is Red Leicester different from the original Mini Cheddars?

A: Same little round biscuit, different cheese. The Red Leicester ones have a richer, slightly deeper cheese flavour, and people tend to pick a side and stay there.

Q: Are they good to send to someone who misses home?

A: Very. A few bags of Mini Cheddars tucked into a parcel will get a bigger reaction than something twice the size, mostly because nobody expects them.

More about Jacob's Mini Cheddars Red Leicester Grab Bag

Mini Cheddars sit in a strange, happy spot in British snacking: not quite a crisp, not quite a biscuit, and found wherever the other two are. The meal deal, the pub, the lunchbox, the bowl put out when people come round.

People in Canada go looking for them because the flavour is oddly hard to explain. You can spend ten minutes describing a Mini Cheddar to a Canadian friend and get nowhere. Handing them the bag settles it in about four seconds.

The grab bag is the single-serve one, a sitting's worth, which is exactly why it vanishes so fast. Keep a few sealed bags in the cupboard somewhere cool and dry, and slip one into a desk drawer, a glovebox or a rucksack for a long day out.

Jacob's is also the name behind cream crackers and Twiglets, so if you are building a proper British snack basket, they sit nicely next to a bag of crisps and a box of crackers for the cheese board.

The story of Jacob's Mini Cheddars Red Leicester Grab Bag

By Aaron A.  |  October 13, 2026

The bag that never makes it home

You buy a grab bag meaning to save it for later. It is open before you have left the car park. Nobody in the history of the corner shop has ever saved one, and a bag of Jacob's Mini Cheddars Red Leicester is not about to be the first. One minute it is full. The next you are tipping it up for the crumbs and quietly wondering who ate the rest. It was you.

Read the full story

Two brothers and a lot of biscuits

It started small. William Beale Jacob ran a bread and sea-biscuit bakery in Waterford, Ireland, in the mid-nineteenth century. His brother Robert joined in 1851, forming the partnership of W. & R. Jacob. In 1852 the brothers acquired premises at Peter's Row in Dublin, and in 1853 they opened the W. & R. Jacob's Steam Biscuit Factory, which is about as Victorian as a name gets. In 1885 they introduced the cream cracker, and the cheese board has never looked back.

Aintree, and a queue of owners

Jacob's first English factory opened in 1914 in Aintree, Liverpool, and it remains the primary UK producer of Jacob's products, Cream Crackers and Twiglets included. In 1916 the Dublin factory was one of several prominent buildings occupied by rebels during the Easter Rising. In 1922 Dublin and Liverpool formally separated, and Liverpool became Jacob's Bakery Ltd. Then came a queue of owners: Associated Biscuits in 1960, Nabisco in 1982, Danone in 1989, and United Biscuits in 2004. Today United Biscuits, part of Pladis, uses the Jacob's name under licence in the UK.

A nation of serious crunchers

Over a billion Jacob's Cream Crackers were consumed in Britain in 2013. That is a lot of crunching for one island. The grab bag sits at the other end of the scale: the school trip, the motorway services, the packet torn open on the pub table while someone works out whose round it is. You can probably remember the last one you had. It was not that long ago. It just feels it.
