Cheez-It Mozzarella
You expect a mozzarella cheese-flavored cracker to taste like it has some mozzarella cheese in it, right? And, you expect that there would be a decent amount of mozzarella cheese in it too, wouldn’t you? So, I don’t know what the folks at Cheez-It are thinking with new Cheez-It Mozzarella. Sure, they have a cheese flavor. But, it’s not the flavor of mozzarella cheese. It’s just a generic, amorphous cheese flavor. It could be one of many cheese flavors. One look at the ingredient list on the side of the box explains why. Mozzarella cheese is listed there, but it’s not the first type of cheese in the list. In fact, it’s not even the second type of cheese on the list. Sadly, mozzarella cheese is third on the list, behind white cheddar and cheddar. This is why the crackers don’t taste like mozzarella cheese. It also explains why the crackers deserve the lowest Phoood rating. It’s not because the crackers themselves aren’t perfectly edible, but because as I ate them I had the feeling that I had been duped.
Phoood rating: 
At this point in Cheez-It crackers it is surprising that they still are coming out with different cheese flavors. The flavor os mozzarella is a smooth creamy flavor without any sharp aspects. This flavor in cheese it crackers would be unflavorful without the addition of other cheeses. Mixing the taste with cheddar would give the consumers the typical Cheez-It flavor mixed with someone else jazzy. As i think it should say mozzarella with a splash of cheddar, i am not at all surprised that these do not taste as expected. Neither should you.
