Savoy
Savoy is an extremely similar cracker initially introduced by the Brockhoff Biscuits in Melbourne[8] in 1938.[9] While they were originally competitors, with the merger of Brockhoff and Arnott's in 1963, the decision was made to keep both products on store shelves.[2] Today, besides branding, the difference between the two biscuits include the replacement of the full cream milk powder and malt in Jatz with golden syrup in Savoy.[1]
