Bonnie: If you’re a cheese lover as we are, you’re going to love these new cheese crisps. These wafer-thin crackers are made entirely out of Parmesan cheese, with some flax seeds added for nutrition. A three-cracker serving packs 500 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids, shown to reduce inflammation while being good for your heart.
When you start with the finest ingredients — such as aged Parmesan cheese — you end up with something delicious. In addition to these Flax Seed Parmesan Crisps, they are also available as Aged Parmesan, Sesame Parmesan, Basil Pesto Parmesan, Italian Herb Parmesan, Jalapeño Parmesan, Rosemary Parmesan, Everything Parmesan, Garlic Parmesan and an Aged Parmesan mini Crisp version.
These crisps have won numerous National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT) sofi Awards. Sofis, which stands for “specialty outstanding food innovation,” are currently awarded twice a year. Kitchen Table Bakers has won six silver and four gold sofi Awards in various categories including “Outstanding Diet and Lifestyle Product”(2009 and 2011) and “Outstanding Cracker” (2010 and 2011).
Enjoy nibbling them topped with thinly sliced prosciutto, chèvre or another favorite cheese; or naked along with a glass or wine or spirits.
Bryan: What’s better than cheese on a cracker? When it comes to snacking, not too many items, but why complicate things? What if I told you that you could just have a gourmet “cheese cracker,” and save yourself a step? Well, that’s basically what Barry Novick thought when he left his job as a hospital administrator at age 55 in order to create his own truly unique, gourmet product… All Parmesan Gourmet Wafer Crisps. After producing batch after batch for his friends, Barry was ready for prime time, launching Kitchen Table Bakers.
Do you remember the last time you had a well-made crock of French Onion Soup? Do you remember that thin, baked layer of Gruyere cheese extending down the bowl? That wonderful flavor you get while eating that cheese, that thinly layered, crusty cheese off the dish… it’s the same basic flavor your get from Kitchen Table Bakers crisps, but with a far more complex Parmesan cheese base. It’s quite amazing.
Kitchen Table Bakers blends a unique selection of aged cheeses into a complex-flavored “cracker.” Well, it’s not really a cracker: It’s a crisp. You certainly wouldn’t put cheese on this cracker, as it’s purely made from cheese. KTB’s ingenious little crisps are a standout on their own, but I’ve found two uses that make them irreplaceable. In no particular order, you simply MUST use them to take your Caesar salad to the next level. Simply use them instead of croutons and Parmesan shavings (it acts as both!). This cheesy, crunchy delight is just outstanding with a creamy bowl of tomato soup! The handmade cheese crackers are wheat free, gluten free and sugar free. So get some.
Eric: In a 2011 online post, NPR quoted economists who crunched food consumption data collected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as stating that the average American consumes 31 pounds of cheese. That said, let’s introduce a new option to the cheese-consumption scale: Kitchen Table Bakers Flax Seed Parmesan Crisps.
This 100 percent Parmesan cheese crisp with added flax seeds is a gourmet approach to the modern day cracker. Consider these Parmesan crisps as the perfect accompaniment to charcuterie, or a step in the right direction to the ultimate crouton. As simple as they sound, they’re an Epicurean work of art that pays homage to the artisan craft of crackers.
I’m sure it would taste great and crunch great. I really like the idea, there is nothing like crusty cheese off of a French Onion Soup bowl…
But at $5.99 it is very expensive…
Dave, you’re right, they are a bit pricey, but worth it. They are so rich, that a little goes a long way!
