Jacob's Afternoon Tea Selection biscuits

Jacob's Afternoon Tea is a seasonal biscuit selection box that is deeply rooted in Irish household tradition, particularly during the Christmas period. The brand's history dates back to 1851 when it was founded by William and Robert Jacob in Waterford, Ireland. It eventually expanded to Liverpool, England, becoming a staple in both markets.

Today, the Jacob's brand has a complex ownership structure due to historical splits. In Ireland, the brand (including the beloved Afternoon Tea biscuits) is owned by Valeo Foods. Manufacturing primarily takes place in Ireland, maintaining the heritage of the product line. The brand remains an iconic name in the snack food industry across Britain and Ireland.
