15 of My Go-To Charcuterie Board Crackers

I’ve always loved eating tapas-style—picking at a little bit of everything. Sweet and salty is my favorite combo (like a salted caramel brownie), which is probably why I love a good charcuterie board.

I love stopping by Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s to check out their new snacks. It’s always exciting to find a new cracker to add to a charcuterie board.

On a trip to Whole Foods, I found these thin guava and coconut crackers inspired by Colombian corn arepas (arepitas). They had me excited to create a a Latin-inspired charcuterie board.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but they had this toasty flavor that reminded me of the crispy edges of an arepa de choclo—so good.

My Picks for the Top 15 Charcuterie Board Crackers

After sampling plenty of crackers with my favorite cheese, and prosciutto, I’ve put together a list of my 15 favorite charcuterie board crackers—here are my go-to picks!

1. Tortas De Aceite (Sweet Olive Oil Crisps)

Technically not what we would call a cracker, but I love breaking these tortas up and adding them to a charcuterie board. They’re flaky, light, and just sturdy enough to hold toppings like cheese or cured meats (they're perfect with hummus).

Think of them as a cross between bread and a cracker—they’re not sweet, just simple, buttery, and with a hint of olive oil. They come in a few flavors, and if you serve these, trust me, they’ll probably be the first ones gone.

2. The Original Water Crackers

When I’m getting a board ready with stronger cheeses like blue cheese or aged smoked gouda, I always grab classic water crackers. They’re simple and pair so well with bold cheeses and salty cured meats.

3. Toasted Guava Crackers (GF)

These are the arepa-style crackers from Craize I mentioned earlier. They’re light, crispy (but not too thin), and different in the best way. I love that they’re not too sweet, which makes them so good with salty cheeses. And since they’re made with corn, they’re perfect if you or your friends are gluten-free.

The guava crackers with Spanish cheese or drunken goat cheese are surprisingly so good. And if you’ve got a triple cream brie on your board, these crackers are perfect!

4. Toasted Coconut Crackers (GF)

I honestly didn’t know what to think about a coconut cracker or whether it would even make sense on a charcuterie board. But it turns out, it’s so good with fresh fruit! I place these closest to the fruit and nuts.

If coconut isn’t your thing, their plain corn crackers are perfect! I've included them below.

5. Organic Thin Wheat Square Crackers

Another favorite. I love that these are buttery, and thin. I love their crispiness and how they pair well with salty cheeses and cured meats.

6. Rosemary Garlic Crackers

I grabbed these (Moonshot crackers) on a whim once while rushing to finish a board, and now I pick them up every time. The combo of garlic and rosemary is just right—not too strong, but enough to stand out. They’re also sturdy, which makes them great for piling on manchego or cured meats. I always try to remember that crackers need to be thick enough to hold the weight of cheese and dips without falling apart.

7. Everything Like The Bagel Crackers

I love everything seasoning, and these everything crackers are so good with creamy cheeses like brie or goat cheese—it’s like a charcuterie board version of a bagel and cream cheese spread.

A bagel and cream cheese charcuterie board with mini bagels and different flavors of cream cheese is such a fun idea for breakfast.

8. Strawberry and Jalapeño Crisps

These have a spicy kick, so if you’re not into spice, you might want to skip them. But if you love a little heat, these are amazing. The strawberry really comes through, and they’re so good with a tart cheese like goat cheese.

9. Jalapeño Lime Crackers

Another fav from Craize, these have a slight kick of spice with a hint of lime. I love these with plain or garlic hummus.

10. Organic Naan Crackers

Another gem from Trader Joe’s! I’ve only seen naan crackers from a couple of other brands, but the ones at TJ’s are GOOD. They’re super flaky and perfect with dips or fresh fruit.

11. Organic Garlic Naan Crackers

If you love the plain naan crackers, the garlicky ones are also yummy.

12. Sweet Corn Crackers

This isn’t sponsored, but Craize is the only brand I’ve seen making these corn crackers. They have a sweet corn flavor that reminds me of my favorite sweet corn arepas. They’re so good with cheese.

13. Date and Almond Crisps

Dates, and almonds? Such a good pairing with any cheese.

14. Cranberry and Hazelnut Crisps

I love how these cranberry and hazelnut crisps bring a little sweetness and tartness to the mix.

They’re so good with creamy brie or sharp cheddar, and they even pair well with stronger cured meats. Definitely a fun addition to your charcuterie board.

15. Everything Crackers

These are a little different from the ones I mentioned earlier because they’re gluten-free and have a slight sweetness from the corn.

16. Bonus: Palmier Cookies (Organic Heart of Gold Cookies)

These palmiers remind me of mini flaky Colombian orejas. I’d add them to a dessert board with a couple of small bowls of hazelnut spread for dipping or spreading on the palmiers—it’s such a fun way to sneak in a little sweetness.

Have you tried any of these? I’d love to hear—let me know in the comments!
