Trader Joe's Green Olive Flats Italian Lingue Crackers, 150g

So named for their resemblance to a tongue, Italian lingue (pronounced LEAN-gweh) crackers may just be the ideal edible instrument on which to serve cheese. They’re traditionally made by rolling savoury-seasoned dough into a flat, roughly rectangular, tongue-like shape, then baking them until they’re superlatively crisp and snackable. For TJ's Green Olive Flats, the newest addition to our snacks section, TJ's supplier in Italy goes the extra step of mixing bits of green olive into theirs, which provides a perfectly piquant briny flavor into every bite.

True to tradition, TJ's Green Olive Flats make a truly exceptional serving surface for all kinds of cheeses: they provide a salty, savoury boost when spread with our Triple Cream Brie, create a complementary conversation on the palate when eaten with a slice of herby Asiago with Rosemary and Olive Oil, and accentuate the allium elements of our English Cheddar with Caramelized Onions. Of course, that goes even farther when compounded with some smoky charcuterie, like our very own Prosciutto. And if you just happen to find yourself in need of a savoury, crisp cracker, sans meat or cheese, our Green Olive Flats are always an excellent option.
