cracker crumbs an unnecessary term for americans, but in Italy these do not exist, even in whole cracker form. The few occasions bob has to produce cheesecake in Italy, he looks for Mulino Bianco Grancereale or Barilla I Mugnai or Pavesi Digestivi (which are all made by the Barilla group) or Saiwa Cruscoro cookies and crumbs them up easily to make "briciole di biscotti fatti con farina integrale e malto", and since whole or recipe-ready hazelnuts are not usually available on short notice to add a hazelnut (nocciole) crumb component as we like to do in the USA, some Saiwa Lingue di Gatto oppure Parmalat Nussli can be mixed in as in our limoncello cheesecake, Italian version. [see also cheesecake di bob, versione italiana] Created in the early 19th century by an eccentric American Presbyterian minister Sylvester Graham, an early vegetarian propagandizer, the most well known brand these days is Nabisco Honey Maid (since 1925) which neglects to credit Sylvester. More recently sold in crumb form for the very popular cheesecake market.
