Best crackers for cheeseboard

[Piccolino2]

As the title suggests really, what crackers do you all love with cheese? I’m always lacking in this area and usually buy a selection box which gets thrown away after a few crackers are eaten.

I’ve got a stick of the Jules Destrooper Almond thins for Stilton and need to get some Carrs cheese melts because I love them but what else? I fancy some lovely poppyseed/rosemary or such creation but don’t know what to buy.

What are your must haves?

I forgot the doriana crackers (any cheese) and oatcakes (Stilton).

Charcoal crackers are really nice. Contrasting flavour to cheese but still a neutral one. I’d really recommend hunting out a pack.

What do they taste of? A bit burney? Rice cakes are nice with a soft spreadable cheese.

Not down to more serious stuff. What's your favourite cheese? I'm going to have to go for pecorino. Or goats, feta or haloumi. Very mature cheddar is my everyday one.

No they’re not a burnt taste. It’s hard to explain, definitely savoury though. Sort of in the way that brown bread tastes different to white, it’s an earthier flavour.

We used to get some for the dog! She seemed to enjoy them (without cheese!). Are they the grey ones?

When I could eat gluten I loved Hovis crackers.
Now I have Nairn's gf oatcakes and Schar crackers, though the latter are explosive to eat but so tasty
If anyone had any GF Recommendations I would be very grateful

Carrs.

Aldi do some nice buttermilk ones in their posh range

High-baked water biscuits. Nothing beats those.

@iamearthymama these are gf, really easy to make and delicious. I add more mustard than the recipe calls for and caraway seeds and bake til quite dark

Great with cheese

Oh thanks everyone! I’ve now got a basket full of crackers in my Ocado shop! Sadly don’t like water biscuits at all but had forgotten how much I love digestives with cheese! Yum yum!

Try with a drizzle of honey on top. You won't regret it!

Fudge's are really good quality and they advise which style of cheese they go with

As others have said- the plain biscuits for strong- flavoured cheeses. Carrs, water biscuits, cracked black pepper ones... I save the Hovis ones for my son!

As for cheeses- Wensleydale with apricot/cranberry, Stilton, hot chilli cheese...any with a strong flavour. Edam makes me boak!

Thank you for the recipe bertrand

AgentProvocateur where do you live? And.. Can I live there too..?!

Glasgow, and you’d be made very welcome. I’d even take you to my favourite cheese shop www.mellischeese.net/

I'm going to try Bertrand's recipe

AgentProvocateur on the next train

I may have to visit that cheese shop when I'm next up in Glasgow at Easter!

Carrs Water Biscuits - preferably the big ones
Bath Olivers
Something oaty - Waitrose black sesame and seaweed are nice
Somthing thin, crisp and sourdoughy E.G St Peter's Yard Sourdough Crispbread
Maybe Lingue Flatbreads, possibly with rosemary, like this

For those of you who like digestives with cheddar, a scrape of marmite on the biscuit is life changing.
