Cheese crackers

Cheese crackers are a type of snack or culinary ingredient very popular in various recipes, especially for appetizers and side dishes. They are characterized by their slightly salty flavor and crunchy texture, combined with the distinctive taste of cheese, which can range from mild to more intense depending on the type of cheese used.

These crackers have their origin in the European tradition of savory baked goods, although their popularity has spread widely throughout Latin America and other parts of the world, where they are included as part of snacks, appetizers, or even bases for canapés and starters.

Properties: Cheese crackers provide a combination of carbohydrates and fats from the cheese, in addition to some protein. They are a quick and practical option to complement cheese boards, salads, or dips. Due to their salt content, it is advisable to consume them in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, cheese crackers may also be known as: galletitas de queso, crackers con queso, galletas de queso saladas or simply crackers de queso. These terminological variants are common in recipes and menus, but they refer to the same type of product and culinary function.
