Early beginnings (1920s)

Cheez-It was first created in 1921 in Dayton, Ohio by the Green & Green Company, a small snack bakery. At the time, Americans were becoming more interested in packaged, shelf-stable foods that could be sold in stores nationwide.

The original idea wasn’t just a “cheese cracker” like today—it was marketed as a “baked rarebit”, inspired by Welsh rarebit (a melted cheese dish served on toast). The company wanted a cracker that tasted like real baked cheese in a crunchy, bite-sized form.
