History

The Jacob's brand has a long and illustrious history in the biscuit industry. The company was founded by William Beale Jacob and his brother Robert in 1851. The brothers opened a small bakery in Bridge Street, Waterford, and began to produce a variety of biscuits. In 1881, the company moved to Bishop Street in Dublin, where it remained until 1975.

Jacob's was one of the most successful biscuit manufacturers in the world during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company's success was largely due to its innovative approach to biscuit making and its commitment to quality. Jacob's was the first company to introduce the cream cracker, a biscuit that is still popular today.
