Premium crackers designed for modern entertaining.

From delicate wafer crackers and seeded toasts to gluten-free flatbreads, continues to resonate within speciality retail as consumers embrace more relaxed sharing and cheeseboard occasions at home.

Light crisp textures, thoughtful recipes and strong shelf appeal make the range a natural fit for farm shops, delicatessens, cheese counters and premium snacking displays.

We explore the changing entertaining trends shaping the category and why retailers continue to engage with the range.

• STOKED! – clean-label, plant-based ready meals
• Azouro (Stephen Firth) – award-winning Portuguese tinned fish & olive oils
• C & M Meals Ltd, Bistro Chef – restaurant-quality frozen meals
• Mellona (Stelios Stylianou) – raw, functional honey with real consumer traction
