Real Cheddar Cheese: Aged to perfection and blended directly into the dough for a deep, authentic savory taste.
-
Vegetable Oil Blend: Used to achieve a crisp, non-greasy finish during the baking process.
-
Annatto Extract: A natural plant-based coloring that gives the crackers their signature vibrant orange hue without synthetic dyes.
