The published ingredient list also includes honey.\n\nA sourdough ferment takes time and it leaves something behind: a faint lactic tang and a savoury depth underneath the wheat that a fast yeasted dough does not develop. That is what lets a Peter's Yard cracker be eaten plain, which is not something you would do with a matzo or a crackerbread.\n\n The Taste Profile\n\nSourdough tang: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cb (4/5) The reason to buy the brand. A gentle lactic edge a yeasted cracker cannot produce.\nBaked wheat depth: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cf\u25cb (4/5) Toasty and rounded, with a proper bake behind it rather than a flat one.\nSaltiness: \u25cf\u25cf\u25cb\u25cb\u25cb (2/5) Restrained, so it stays usable under a salty aged cheese.\n\nTeas.co.uk Curator Rating: 4.6 / 5 - Our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk\n\n The Story Behind Peter's Yard\n\nPeter's Yard is a British maker of Swedish-style sourdough crispbread, and the range is built on that one idea rather than on breadth. The company uses crispbread, cracker and flatbread as names for different formats, and the current pack is what tells you which one you have; we do not assume that two names in the range mean the same thing inside. What is consistent is that the bake is the point.\n\nPackaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.\n\n What You Are Actually Buying\n\nWeight: two packs of ninety grams, which is one hundred and eighty grams in total by our own calculation from the stated pack size.\n\nTwo sealed packs: the second one keeps its snap in the cupboard while you eat the first, which is a real advantage for a cracker of this kind.\nContains gluten: it is a wheat sourdough cracker and is not suitable for a coeliac diet.\nWhat it is not: not a workhorse cracker for soup, not a neutral base for a formal board, and not the prettiest thing in the range to put in front of guests. It is the sensible buy.\n\n How Does Peter's Yard Original Sourdough Crackers, 90g Compare to:\n\nPeter's Yard Rosemary & Sea Salt Sourdough Crackers, 90g: one pack instead of two. That one brings rosemary and sea salt with it, which is a real difference and a genuine reason to choose it.\nPeter's Yard Original Sourdough Crispbreads, 125g: the brand's crispbread format. A smarter single pack to put out in front of people.\nCarr's Table Water Crackers, 125g: a mainstream premium cracker rather than an artisan one.\n\n Ideal Serving Conditions\n\nThe twin pack is easier to keep than a single large pack, and that is not a small point. Open one, leave the other sealed, and the second is still exactly as it left the bakery when you get to it a fortnight later. Keep both away from the kettle and out of a humid cupboard, reseal the opened one properly, and do not leave it out on a board overnight after a dinner; a sourdough cracker loses its snap long before it loses its tang, so a soft one still tastes right while being no good to eat.\n\nThe Cheeseboard Serve\n\nPut some out plain: this is one of the very few crackers on our shelf worth eating undressed, and a board is the place to show it.\nLess cheese than usual: the base has a voice here, so a thinner slice of a strong aged cheese or a blue reads better than a thick one.\nNo butter: it flattens the tang rather than lifting it. Butter belongs on the plainest crackers, where there is empty space for it.\nSomething sharp alongside: pickled walnuts, a fruit chutney or a quince paste. Sourdough and acidity agree with each other.\n\nThe Everyday and Tea Tray Serve\n\nThis is the pack to eat casually: the small smart packs are for occasions; this one is for Tuesday.\nWith a strong black tea: the tang and the tannin meet properly, and it is a better afternoon plate than a sweet biscuit when you do not want sugar.\nSmoked fish and soft cheese: the Nordic build this style of cracker grew up with, and it needs nothing else.\nKeep the second pack for the board: if you are having people over later in the month, the sealed one will be better on the night than an opened one will.\n\n Getting It Right with a Hot Drink\n\nPairing: strong black tea, a plain breakfast blend, or black coffee. The savoury depth gives the drink something to meet.\nAvoid: sweetened milky coffees and dessert teas, which put sugar against a lactic tang and make both read oddly.\nDunking: no. It is savoury, dry and unsweetened, and dunking wastes a cracker that is worth tasting on its own.\nStorage: one open, one sealed, both away from steam. It is the easiest pack in the range to keep well.\nBest with: a cheeseboard, smoked fish, a glass of something dry, or an ordinary afternoon.\n\n Safety And Purity\n\nIngredients and dietary suitability: Per the published ingredient list for this barcode it contains wheat and rye (gluten) and milk. Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change.\n\nSourdough is not a health claim: it describes how the dough is raised and what that does to the flavour. We make no digestive, nutritional or dietary claim for it of any kind.\n\nAnyone matching this against a published listing should go by the product name and the pack size.", "purchase_intent_url": "https://teas.co.uk/buy/peters-yard-original-sourdough-crackers-90g/", "purchase_intent_policy": "Human-confirmed purchase intent only.

It is why a Peter's Yard cracker can be eaten plain, which you would not do with a matzo or a crackerbread. Why is there no barcode on this listing?We have recorded the GTIN as absent rather than inventing it, which is normal for products whose published listings do not carry a barcode. Match it by product name and pack size instead. Is a cracker the same as a crispbread in this range?We do not assume so. The brand uses crispbread, cracker and flatbread for different formats, and the current pack is what tells you which one you are holding. What is the advantage of two packs over one big one?The second one keeps its snap while you eat the first. Open one, leave the other sealed, and it is still exactly as it left the bakery a fortnight later. Is sourdough better for you?Sourdough describes how the dough is raised and what that does to the flavour, nothing more. Any nutrition figures you want are printed on the current pack. How much cheese goes on it?Less than you would put on a plain cracker. The base has a voice here, so a thinner slice of a strong aged cheese or a blue reads better than a thick one, and a mild cheese gets lost against the tang. Should I butter it?We would not. Butter flattens the tang rather than lifting it. It has gone soft. Can I save it?Usually. Five minutes on a tray in a low oven and a full cooling flat will bring the snap back. Worth knowing that a sourdough cracker loses its snap long before it loses its tang, so a soft one still tastes right while being no good to eat. Does it go with tea?Better than most savoury crackers. A strong black tea has the tannin to meet the lactic tang, and it makes a good afternoon plate when you do not want sugar. Keep it out of the cup: dunking wastes a cracker worth tasting on its own. Which pack should I put in front of guests?Honestly, the single smart packs look better on a table. This is the pack to eat casually. If people are coming later in the month, keep the sealed one back for the night." }, { "title": "Ingredients & Nutrition", "content": "Ingredients and allergens.

A plain cracker is designed to have no aroma at all, because it exists to let something else provide it; a sourdough cracker comes out of the oven with a toasted, faintly savoury top note that reaches you when the pack is opened. That is the first sign that this is not a cracker built to disappear. It is also the layer that tells you a pack has been open too long, because the aroma thins before the texture does, and it is one of the reasons the twin pack is a sensible format: the sealed pack still smells the way it should when you get to it.The flavour spike is the sourdough itself, a gentle lactic tang arriving mid bite with savoury depth behind it. A long ferment produces acids and aromatic compounds that a fast yeasted dough has no time to develop and an unleavened dough never develops at all, and that is precisely what the premium is for. It changes how you build on the cracker. On a plain base the cheese supplies the whole flavour, so you cut it thick; here both halves are talking, so a thinner slice of a strong aged cheese or a blue reads better, a mild cheese disappears against the tang, and butter is a mistake because it flattens the sour note rather than lifting it.The base structure is a longer finish than a plain cracker gives, with the tang holding for a moment after the topping has gone. That is pleasant in itself, and it is the reason these can be eaten undressed while a matzo or a crackerbread cannot. It is also a warning about overbuilding: anything with a second strong flavour on top produces two long finishes fighting each other, which is why the best things to put on this cracker are sharp and simple rather than rich and complicated.Getting it right in the cup. This is the savoury cracker that most rewards a hot drink beside it, because there is something in it for the drink to meet. A strong black tea has enough tannin to sit against a lactic tang, and the two together make a proper afternoon plate for anybody who does not want sugar at four o'clock; black coffee does the same with more weight behind it. Anything sweetened and milky is the wrong choice, because sugar against a sour note makes both read oddly and the tang begins to seem like a fault rather than the thing you paid for. It does not go in the cup either.How water and temperature change it. Humidity is what ends a sourdough cracker, and the twin pack postpones it twice over, which is the practical case for the format. An opened pack starts losing snap from the day it is opened; the sealed one is untouched by any of that and will be exactly as it left the bakery a fortnight later. The failure mode is worth knowing because it is quiet: the snap goes long before the tang does, so a soft cracker still tastes right while being no good to eat, and that is how a pack gets wasted without anybody noticing. Five minutes on a tray in a low oven drives the moisture out and the snap returns, provided the crackers cool completely flat, because a warm one softens again as it sits. On the plate, the wet topping is the other water to think about: build at the table rather than an hour ahead, and if something soft or fresh is going out, put the crackers beside it rather than under it." }, { "title": "Recipe Ideas", "content": "Peter's Yard Original Sourdough Crackers, 90g is the pack to eat casually rather than the one to put in front of guests.
