Review: Gluten-Free Cheese Crackers

Last Updated on December 31, 2023 by the Celiac-Disease.com Staff Leave a Comment

Cheez-It crackers were one of my favorite crackers when I was growing up. As an adult, I tended to buy gourmet type cheese straws, but if someone was serving Cheez-It crackers, I’d definitely nosh on them. After an extensive two year search, I found the best gluten-free version of a Cheez-It I’ve had to date, but the bakery that made them discontinued them. They were really fabulous and still rank number one in my book.

There are several gluten-free cheese crackers worth trying. Only two of them are items I’ve bought more than once, but everyone has different tastes. Aside from the discontinued crackers, The Grainless Baker has the best cheese crackers around. At least that’s true of the brands I’ve tried. Their Cheddar Snackers are delicious! The old version was more like a cheese straw (except for the shape) and the new version is more like a gourmet crispy cheese cracker.

Glutino makes cheese crackers which to me don’t have a very cheesy flavor. I’m a cheese snob of sorts and I think that I’m a cheese cracker snob too. Many people love the Glutino Cheese Crackers and when I tasted them, I thought I’d purchased the plain version by mistake. By contrast, the Glutino Vegetable Crackers are divine. Interestingly, they look like a cheese cracker due to the tomatoes in them.

Recently, when heading into town to meet a friend for lunch, I realized I would drive right by Return to Eden so I popped in quickly to pick up the Schar Cheese Bites. I’d heard good things about them and I enjoy many items from the Italian company. Their gluten-free pasta is divine! The small bag of Schar cheese crackers was kind of pricey, but right in line with other gluten-free cracker prices.

When I opened the Schar crackers, I noticed there were different shapes of them. I thought about how nice they would look in a serving dish for a party. If only the snack tasted as good as it looked. It was the fourth best gluten-free cheese cracker I’ve had, though it runs circles around the Glutino version. However, it was not good enough for me to buy again. There is an unpleasant aftertaste that I can’t quite finger. I’m hoping to use up the rest of the bag in a recipe that calls for cheese cracker crumbs. Otherwise, I’ll have to give them away because my husband doesn’t like crackers of any kind.

I’ve made these cheese straws before with the all-purpose flour from gluten-free Pantry and they were phenomenal. They’re a great option for a party. When only one person in the house eats crackers they are not a reasonable option to make as they do not freeze well. The Kitchen Table Bakers Cheese Crisps are absolutely superb and I’m looking forward to trying the smaller size crisps they recently released.

It’s wonderful to have so many gluten-free cheese cracker options, but for now, the gluten-free Cheez-It still eludes me. If anyone knows of another gluten-free cheese cracker (that I don’t have to make myself), I’d love to hear about it!
