REVIEW:
Glutino is a very popular company that produces gluten free products. They have several lines of products which include snacks, frozen meals, bakery goods, baking mixes, and cereals, all of which are gluten free. We have had several of their products in the past and, for the most part, liked them. When we saw these crackers, we were sure that we would enjoy them. The problem with gluten free cookies and crackers is that they tend to have a weird texture. It’s hard to describe, but I would probably best describe it as a soft and powdery texture. Those of you who have tried gluten free crackers will know what I am talking about.
When we opened up the box of these crackers, first thing we noticed was that many of the crackers were broken. It didn’t bug me too much because they would all eventually end up in my belly, but it does make it difficult to scoop the right ratio of dip and cracker with sections of the cracker missing. This cracker was a little on the soft/powdery side, but it wasn’t too bad. I had these with some hummus and it went together perfectly.
In the end these are just crackers and don’t have much flavor by themselves, but they make for great dipping food. These crackers are great for everyone. They have just the right amount of crunch, yet they are still a little soft, so that just about anyone can eat them.
Taste: Taste and texture can be a little tricky for gluten free products. Overall, Glutino did a good job with this cracker. We had the original flavor crackers and I didn’t expect them to be much other than great for dipping and I was right. They are a tad bland by themselves, but great when accompanying your favorite dip. If you’re looking for a cracker with a little more flavor that can be enjoyed without anything extra, I would look into their other varieties which include cheddar, vegetable, and multigrain flavors.
Labeling: The labeling on these crackers is nice and simple and includes an enlarged image of the cracker on the back to show the texture and the image is accurate. It also clearly states that it is gluten free right on the front of the box.
Packaging: The packaging is your typical cracker box printed on 100% recycled fibers. It may be the American products that I am used to, but the amount of product in the box seems a little low compared to other non gluten free crackers that are available at the supermarket. Only 4 servings in this box…it just might be a smart thing because gluten free products don’t usually last as long once opened.
