Jacob's Mini Cheddars Red Leicester

Jacob's Mini Cheddars are a quintessential British snack, originally launched under the Jacob’s brand which has a heritage dating back to 1851. Unlike traditional crackers or potato chips, Mini Cheddars are small, baked savory biscuits flavoured with real cheese. They have become a staple in the UK snack market, known for their unique texture and strong cheese profiles like Red Leicester and Original Cheddar.

The history of the manufacturing is deeply rooted in the United Kingdom, specifically produced at the historic Aintree factory in Liverpool. This site has been a hub for biscuit production for over a century. Through several decades of corporate shifts, the brand moved from its original Irish-British founders through various ownership groups, including United Biscuits.

Today, the brand is owned by pladis, a global confectionery and snack company formed in 2016. pladis is a subsidiary of the Turkish conglomerate Yıldız Holding. Despite the Turkish ultimate ownership, the brand remains distinctly British in its identity, marketing, and primary production operations, maintaining its status as one of the UK’s most popular savoury snacks.
