Where to Buy Excelsior Crackers in the UK | The Yaad Market

Excelsior Water Crackers are one of the most universally loved Jamaican products and one of the most searched for by Jamaicans living in the United Kingdom. Light, crispy and deeply comforting, these crackers are a staple of Jamaican daily life that diaspora communities in London, Birmingham, Manchester and beyond actively seek out.

This guide covers where to find them and what to know before you order.

Why Are Excelsior Crackers So Hard to Find in the UK?

Excelsior Water Crackers are produced in Jamaica by Caribbean Food Products Limited. They are not part of mainstream UK supermarket distribution. You may occasionally find them in Caribbean grocery stores in areas with large Jamaican communities, but availability varies significantly and stock is often inconsistent.

For Jamaicans who rely on them daily, paired with cheese, spreads or just eaten plain, waiting and hoping a local shop has them in stock is not a reliable solution.

Can You Buy Excelsior Crackers Online and Ship to the UK?

Yes. The Yaad Market ships authentic Excelsior Water Crackers directly from Jamaica to customers in the United Kingdom.

We stock Excelsior crackers in multiple varieties:

All varieties are available for UK customers and ship via DHL Express, FedEx or Jamaica Post standard shipping, depending on your preference and timeline.

Shipping Excelsior Crackers to the UK — What to Expect

Express shipping via DHL & FedEx typically takes 5 to 10 business days from Jamaica to UK addresses. This is the fastest option and includes tracking throughout.

Standard shipping via Jamaica Post takes approximately 10 to 14 business days and is available at a lower cost for less time-sensitive orders.

On customs: Excelsior crackers are dry baked goods and generally clear UK customs without issues. Unlike dairy or processed meat products, they are not subject to UK import restrictions. 💛

What to Pair With Your Excelsior Crackers

If you are stocking up on Excelsior crackers, you will want to order a few things to enjoy them with. Some classic Jamaican pairings worth adding to your order:

Note that Tastee Cheese cannot currently be shipped to the UK due to dairy import restrictions. UK customers can still enjoy the full cracker experience with our available sauces and seasonings.
