Nobody has ever eaten a cream cracker without dropping half of it down their front. That is part of the deal. Jacob's Cream Crackers are the plain, flaky, square ones that lived in every British cupboard, waiting patiently for cheese.
They do one job and they do it properly. A scrape of butter, a slab of Cheddar, a dab of pickle if you are feeling flash. Supper at your nan's, sorted.
If you have been hunting for the real ones since you moved, stop hunting. Open the packet, hear that snap, and try not to get crumbs on the sofa. You will fail.
Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, store in an airtight container.

Frequently asked questions about Jacob's Cream Crackers
Q: Are these the UK Jacob's Cream Crackers?
A: Yes, these are the British ones, made in the UK, and we ship them from within Canada. Same packet, same snap, same crumbs.
Q: How big is the packet?
A: It is a 300g packet. That is a good few cheese suppers, assuming nobody else in the house finds it.
Q: Do they survive the post?
A: We pack them with care, because a cream cracker is fragile by nature. Even a broken one is still perfectly good with cheese, which is the point anyway.
Q: What do people eat them with?
A: Butter and Cheddar is the classic, with a bit of pickle on top. Soup, pâté and a lump of mature cheese all do the job too.
More about Jacob's Cream Crackers
The cream cracker is the workhorse of the British cheese board. It is not fancy and has never tried to be, yet it is somehow the first thing gone when the cheese comes out after Sunday lunch.
People in Canada search for it by name because the memory is very specific: that particular flake, that dry snap, the little holes, the way it shatters the moment you get confident with the butter knife. It is a precise memory, and only the precise cracker will do.
The 300g packet goes straight in the cupboard. Keep it somewhere cool and dry, fold the end over once it is open, and the crackers stay crisp. Butter and cheese is the classic, but they are just as good dunked in soup, under a bit of pâté or crumbled over a bowl of something on a cold night.
Jacob's is a name British shoppers know right across the cracker aisle. Cream crackers tend to go into the basket with the rest of the cheese board: a jar of pickle, a good chutney, and a block of the strongest Cheddar you can find.
