Cheez-It is a legendary brand of cheese crackers that has been a staple of American snacking for over a century. The product was originally introduced in 1921 by the Green & Green Company of Dayton, Ohio. Known for its distinct square shape, scalloped edges, and the iconic hole in the middle, the cracker is made with real cheese that is aged for a specific flavor profile.

Over the decades, the brand's ownership shifted through major food industry acquisitions. It was notably a product of Sunshine Biscuits for a long time before that company was acquired by Keebler in 1996. Eventually, the Kellogg Company acquired Keebler in 2001, bringing Cheez-It into its massive portfolio. Following a corporate spin-off in 2023, the brand is now owned by Kellanova, which focuses on global snacks and international cereal business, ensuring the product's continued presence in global markets.
