What it is
This matzo is a thin, unleavened cracker, baked until crisp. It has a simple, slightly savory flavor profile that makes it versatile. The texture is brittle and breaks easily. It is made without yeast, resulting in a flat, cracker-like consistency. This particular variety is designed to be enjoyable on its own.

You can eat this matzo straight from the box as a simple snack. For a more substantial bite, spread it with soft cheeses like cream cheese or ricotta.
