Cheez-It launches new Cheesy Taco Flavor: All you need to know

Kellanova's Cheez-It has launched a new Cheesy Taco Flavor. This was spotted at a Walmart store by some customers and is available for a limited time.

The brand has introduced many collaborations in recent times, including one with Taco Bell. It introduced things like Cheez-It Tostada and more for its fans. It also recently released a Duoz Pesto & Mozzarella snack. It has now launched a new flavor that was seen in Walmart.

Cheez-It's Cheesy Taco Flavor explored

The brand has introduced new Cheesy Taco flavored Cheez-Its. These feature their classic crackers in the typical flavors associated with a taco. These include cumin, chili, lime, and oregano with notes of sour cream.

The flavor was previously introduced in the brand's other product named Grooves. These are thinner crackers than the normal Cheez-It ones and are closer to a hard taco shell in texture. Hence, they were a big hit with their crunchiness and lightness.

The brand has now brought the Cheesy Taco flavor to their regular baked crackers as well. They come in 12.4oz or 351g packs, as per which, they have been made with 100% real cheese. These are available for a limited time only, exclusively at Walmart.

Notably, these aren't part of the brand's previous collaboration with Taco Bell. However, it will still be a great addition to your treat for Cinco de Mayo, which is on May 5, 2025.

Cheez-It added 2 new flavors earlier this year

While the Cheesy Taco flavor is available for a limited time, the brand launched two new flavors earlier this year that are permanent additions to its lineup. Based on pizzas, these flavors are - Snap'd Extra Crunchy Margarita and Duoz Pesto + Mozzarella.

Announcing these flavors in mid-January, Cheez-It's Senior Brand Director, Cara Tragselier, said (via PR Newswire):

"Cheez-It is always looking for new ways to deliver bold, cheesy flavors that our fans love, and with these latest additions to our pizza-inspired lineup, we're bringing the irresistible taste of pizza to every bite.

"From the sweet, savory burst of Cheez-It Snap'd Extra Crunchy Margherita Pizza to the vibrant, creamy blend of Cheez-ItDuoz Pesto + Mozzarella, these two new snacks are a must-have for anyone who dreams of pizza perfection in snackable form."

Let's check out the two new flavors in more detail:

Snap'd Extra Crunchy Margarita - This features baked crackers that are extra crunchy and have a toasty texture to replicate the crust of a Margarita Pizza. They are coated in margarita pizza seasoning and feature flavors of tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and mozzarella.

Duoz Pesto + Mozzarella - This pack contains two types of crackers - pesto and mozzarella. The pesto one has flavors of herbs, olive oil, and savory Italian cheese with notes of garlic. The mozzarella one has the mild creaminess of the cheese.

Both flavors are available nationwide in retail stores or online.
