Jatz is a brand of malted Australian cracker introduced by Arnott's Biscuits in 1952.[5] The crackers are circular, about 5cm in diameter, lightly salted on one side and have a scalloped edge.[6] It is typically eaten with cheese, dips, cabanossi, Vegemite or by itself. It is available in original, cracked pepper, fat-free and Clix varieties.[7]

Savoy[edit]

Savoy is an extremely similar cracker initially introduced by the Brockhoff Biscuits in Melbourne[8] in 1938.[9] While they were originally competitors, with the merger of Brockhoff and Arnott's in 1963, the decision was made to keep both products on store shelves.[2] Today, besides branding, the difference between the two biscuits include the replacement of the full cream milk powder and malt in Jatz with golden syrup in Savoy.[1]
