Let’s talk about a cracker so good it earned a spot on Oprah's Favorite Things—the Ines Rosales Cocoa Cayenne Pepper Sweet Olive Oil Crackers. Yes, you read that right: we’re talking about crackers with cocoa and cayenne pepper, perfectly spiced to make your taste buds say, “Wait, is this dessert or snack?”
Oprah is raving about these crackers, and if they’re Oprah-approved, you know they’ve got to be something special. This year, they’ve teamed up with the award-winning Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company to create a heavenly cheese gift box called the Cheese & Thank You Collection. And let’s just say, if cheese-and-cracker heaven is a real place, this is what it looks like.
The “Cheese & Thank You” Gift Collection – Because You Deserve a Bite of Luxury
Ines Rosales isn’t just serving us any cracker; they’re giving us cocoa-kissed, cayenne-dusted perfection. In the Cheese & Thank You box, these magical sweet and spicy crackers are paired with four artisanal cheeses from Point Reyes:
TomaRashi: A Toma-style cheese with a togarashi spice mix. Think umami richness with just a gentle kick.
Bay Blue: Rustic blue cheese that manages to balance mellow and tangy with an almost dessert-like salted caramel finish.
Gouda: Nutty, buttery, and with subtle hints of hazelnut and butterscotch.
Truffle Brie: Rich, creamy, and studded with black summer truffles, because what’s more luxurious than truffle brie?
And that’s not all. This box even includes a sour cherry spread and a cheese knife to make your nibbling experience complete.
A Little Sweet, a Little Heat
Ines Rosales has been handcrafting olive oil tortas for over 114 years in Seville, Spain, following founder Ines Rosales’ original recipe. But with these cocoa cayenne crackers, they’re diving into new flavor territory. It’s the kind of snack that makes you go, “Is this sweet or spicy?”—and then you realize it’s both, in perfect harmony. Oprah herself described the flavor as a “just-so-good” balance, and we can’t argue with that.
The Oprah Effect: Why This Collection is The Best Holiday Gift
Oprah’s annual list has been known to skyrocket small businesses to stardom, and with its focus on women- and minority-owned brands, this year’s list is packed with inspiration. Ines Rosales, Point Reyes, and FoodMatch are front and center, representing the best of artisan craftsmanship and giving us all a reason to bring out our inner food connoisseur this holiday season. You can find the Cheese & Thank You gift collection exclusively on Amazon, or grab it directly from Point Reyes' site—just in time to make your holiday gatherings deliciously memorable.
So if you’re looking for the perfect holiday gift, or just an excuse to treat yourself to some Oprah-approved snacking, these cocoa cayenne crackers with a dash of gourmet cheese are calling your name. Just be prepared for your friends to ask, “Where did you find these amazing crackers?!”
