Bremner Wafer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Bremner wafer)

Bremner Wafers are made by the Bremner Biscuit Company. The company claims that the crackers "have a neutral taste" and that they are "perfect for pairing with a fine wine or savoring with cheese and pâté or seafood, soups and salads".[1] It is because of this "neutral" taste that many wineries and food aficionados around the world prefer using the Bremner wafer as a wine tasting cracker. This neutral taste, however, is seen as a drawback by some because it means the crackers are nearly tasteless when eaten alone.

As of December 2023 the Bremner Wafer product has been discontinued.

Flavors

[edit]

In 2001, the Caraway Wafers were introduced, being marketed as combining "...the delicate flavor of caraway seeds with the crunch of Bremner Biscuits."[2] In 2004, the Oyster Crackers were introduced to the U.S. and Canada.[3]

As of February 5, 2006, there are 8 variations of the original Bremner Wafer:

  • Original Wafers: suitable for fine wines as described above
  • Sesame Wafers: "an excellent complement to cheese, pate, smoked fish or any spread" [4]
  • Cracked Wheat Wafers: for topping and spreads
  • Low Sodium Wafers
  • Caraway Wafers: designed for strong flavors such as Swiss Cheese
  • Crackers Made with Pure Sunflower Oil: for appetizers
  • Oyster Crackers Made with Pure Sunflower Oil: best suited for adding to soups.
