Asiago

Tangy!  Nice job with this one.  This has a real stinky-cheese-in-a-good-way flavor.  After a while I was wondering if perhaps this was just the Four Cheese re-branded.  But the ingredient list has these cheeses: white cheddar, cheddar, parmesan, and asiago.  So definitely a different cheese mix.

My vision of the Cheeze-It factory now looks like this.  There are eight different cheese guns on the line.  Someone walks up, changes the settings on a few, and bam!  New flavor!  Bring back the taco!

Will definitely buy this again.  Might be better than the Four Cheese, will have to buy a box of those to compare.  Near, if not at, the top of the white cheese flavors.  8 out of 10?

Grooves - Zesty Cheddar Ranch and Sharp White Cheddar

So I bought the Zesty Cheddar Ranch Grooves first.  When I initially opened the box I was greeted with an almost chemical-y smell.  The crackers were not to my liking.  There was something off, I couldn't figure out if it was the cracker (made partially with rice flour), or the seasoning.  So I went out and got a box of the Sharp White Cheddar.  These were much better.  It was obvious that the Cheddar Ranch seasoning is what I didn't like.  The crackers are lighter, crispier, and crunchier than the regular Cheez-Its.  Since the Sharp White Cheddar flavoring is much lighter than the Cheddar Ranch, you can taste the cracker more fully.  I like these crispy crackers.  It's too bad the Cheddar Ranch isn't better; I won't buy that again.  But I suppose the White Cheddar will do well as a stand-in to one of the many white-cheese Cheez-Its.
