New Keebler Town House Tuscan Cheese Focaccia Crackers: The Money Shot
OMG everyone needs to go out and buy these New Keebler Town House Tuscan Cheese Focaccia Crackers RIGHT. NOW. I haven’t been this excited about a new cracker in a while. Usually with a new cracker review I’m like, “Oh it had good flavor, I could see myself buying them again yada yada yada.” But these – these I’m DEFINITELY buying again.
The reason? These crackers, the Tuscan Cheese variety, are an EXPLOSION of flavor. Like, bolder than all crackers I’ve had recently. The cracker itself is thick and crunchy yet flaky at the same time. Each cracker is a decent size, covering the area of, say, two Wheat Thins side by side, with a decent 1/8-1/4 inch thickness.
As I crunched into the cracker, my tongue was IMMEDIATELY filled with amazing notes: olive oil, garlic, the tang of the Parmesan cheese, Italian herbs. The flavors were bright and bold – a good amount of salt helped really POP the flavor. I swear, it reminded me of a real piece of Focaccia bread at an Italian restaurant that had been just slathered in olive oil and herbs and then sprinkled with Parmesan. The BITE and TANG of the cheesy flavor was AMAZING. These POPPED, I can’t describe it any other way.
You could definitely FEEL the flavor powder caked on there, but you know what? Who cares. These were delicious. You need to buy these NOW. I promise – if you like bold flavors you will NOT be disappointed.
PURCHASED AT: Giant Food, Van Ness, DC
COST: $2.50 on sale

Hm, I’m not sure if you really liked them or not. I mean, fifteen words in all caps would have convinced me, but to only ply your caps lock on fourteen words? Seems wishy-washy to me.
Have fun in Cancun!
@JEni: *blushing* I couldn’t control myself with the CAPS
Hmmm, is this a “business trip” to Cancun? 🙂 I bought a box of the Town House Pita Italian something-of-the-other a while back, and while they tasted fine they didn’t have a very pleasant “mouth feel” as they say in the biz. Maybe the focaccia efforts are better.
Hmm, I do love bold snack cheese flavors. I finally got the new Takis Xplosion Cheese and Chili Pepper chips & they were very cheesy as you said they were!
The Rosemary and Olive Oil ones are amazing, too. I haven’t yet tried the sea salt and vinegar ones, but I’m currently addicted to these. All of these “exotic” Townhouse crackers have been very good, but these are the best snack item I’ve tasted in YEARS.
@Charlotte: THESE ARE AMAZING. Concur
this crackers got a niiiiccceeee cheese flavor in there
Handle the inner bag with great care! If you get over zealous trying to push out the air you will rupture the bag and have to repackage to preserve freshness. Notice the sealing process. Appears as though a heated wheel was run vertically to the top and bottom edges.
