Jacob's
The cream cracker Jacob's introduced in the 1880s is still the flagship of the Jacob's lines we carry, with the Cornish Wafers, Baked Cheddars, the Biscuits for Cheese selection, TUC and Krackawheat behind it. It is deliberately plain, which is exactly why it holds up beside mature Cheddar and a malty Assam.

About Jacob's
Jacob's began as W. & R. Jacob, the business of the Quaker brothers William and Robert Jacob from Waterford, who were baking in Dublin by 1853. Their cream cracker followed in the 1880s and soon became the firm's best seller. More than a century on, the Aintree factory in Liverpool still bakes Jacob's Cream Crackers. The UK brand belongs to pladis, through United Biscuits.
The cheeseboard after Sunday lunch, the ploughman's, the late plate of cheese and crackers. A cream cracker is deliberately plain, which is why it holds up next to a strong cup: mature Cheddar and a malty Assam still works. The Baked Cheddars suit a dark roast coffee, and the Cornish Wafers want soft cheese and a lighter Ceylon.
