Water Crackers, 10.58oz (Packaging May Vary)

The Excelsior Water Crackers, a quintessential Jamaican delicacy, have a rich history spanning over a century. These unique, fat-free crackers were first produced in 1911 at No. 2 Church Street, Kingston, using a wood-burning brick oven technique that imparted their distinctive taste and texture.

Back then, the freshly baked crackers were meticulously sorted and packed by hand into wooden barrels, before becoming a staple in towns and villages across the island. Today, the Excelsior Water Crackers continue to be a beloved part of the Jamaican diet, enjoyed as a versatile accompaniment to various local dishes and beverages.

In 1952, the company established a state-of-the-art factory on Spanish Town Road, where they have maintained the traditional brick oven baking process while incorporating modern automation to ensure the highest quality standards. This commitment to preserving the original craftsmanship, combined with the use of only the finest, all-natural ingredients, has solidified Excelsior Water Crackers' reputation as a truly unique and authentic Jamaican product.

Beloved for their round, fluffy texture and unparalleled flavor, these crackers are celebrated throughout the island, from Mandeville to Slide-a-ville, for their distinct "toughness" – a testament to the craftsmanship of the wood-burning brick oven baking technique that has been passed down for over a century.

Excelsior Water Crackers are the biscuit of choice in Jamaica, versatile enough to be enjoyed as a party favorite, paired with hors d'oeuvres and hot or cold beverages, or as a healthy snack on their own. They pair exceptionally well with a variety of Jamaican staples, including cheese, solomon gundy, steamed fish, and even as a breakfast cereal.
