Peter’s Yard Pumpkin & Sunflower Seed Sourdough Crackers

The Ultimate Nutty, Toasty Upgrade For Your Cheeseboard

Peter’s Yard Pumpkin & Sunflower Seed Sourdough Crackers offer a fresh twist on their classic crispbread. Made in small batches with slow-fermented sourdough left to develop flavour for 16 hours, the dough is then rolled thin and baked crisp.

Pumpkin, sunflower, and poppy seeds enrich the dough, giving these crackers more flavour than typical sourdough crispbreads. You get the classic Peter’s Yard crunch with toasted, nutty notes and a heartier bite, ideal for pairing with rich cheeses or savoury accompaniments.

Flavour Profile

The first bite brings a crisp crunch followed by the gentle tang classic to good sourdough. A touch of acidity keeps things lively and balances the rich, nutty seed flavours.

Pumpkin and sunflower seeds add crunch and flavour. Once baked, their toasted, nutty aroma warms the crackers. Malted wheat and rye flours contribute earthiness and subtle sweetness, rounding out the taste.

A touch of muscovado sugar adds caramel sweetness, softening the sourdough tang without making the crackers sweet. Sea salt ties the flavours together and highlights savoury, toasty notes.

These crackers are nutty, toasty, tangy, and gently savoury, with a crisp texture and occasional seed crunch. They feel more rustic than the original, making them especially suited for a cheeseboard.

Cheese Pairing Ideas

With their nutty, toasted flavour, these crackers pair well with bold-flavoured cheeses. Their crunch and savoury depth complement mature, robust cheeses.

1. Mature Cheddar – A well-aged cheddar’s bite complements the sourdough’s acidity, while the cheese’s nuttiness echoes the roasted seeds. This brings a creamy, crunchy, and savoury combination.
2. Aged Gouda – As it matures, Gouda develops caramel and butterscotch notes. The sweet-savoury mix pairs perfectly with nutty seeds and tangy crackers for a moreish combination.
3. Le Gruyère AOP – Its smooth, slightly sweet, nutty flavour matches well with toasted seeds. The crisp cracker nicely contrasts the cheese’s creamy centre.
4. Blue Cheese – Creamy blue cheese, like Stilton or Gorgonzola, provides a bold contrast. The salty, pungent blue cheese balances with the earthy crackers for a rich, savoury bite.
5. Comté PDO or Alpine Cheeses – These cheeses have those lovely hazelnut, buttery, and caramel notes that pair perfectly with roasted seeds.

Jen’s Note: Peter’s Yard Pumpkin & Sunflower Seed Sourdough Crackers are a delicious twist on the classic. The mix of tangy sourdough, toasted seeds and delicate crunch makes them a brilliant base for all sorts of cheeses. Whether you go for a mature cheddar, a sweet aged Gouda or a bold blue, these crackers bring texture, warmth and a bit of extra interest to any cheeseboard.
