That's a lotsa matzah

Jewish Boston taste tests the matzah available in local stores, for example:

If you just need something that people will recognize as matzah and you don’t care about how the box looks or whether it holds up under spreading, this will certainly do. It doesn’t taste terrible, but it doesn’t bring anything to the table either. It literally is what it is.

"It literally is what it is"? When is that not true?

I like Aviv the best, especially for whole wheat. He didn't test it.

And the box is pretty.

On the other hand, this is probably the closest you’ll ever get to tasting biblical matzah.

No matzah made today is anything like matzah was in Biblical times. The hard crunchy stuff we have today is an invention of the Industrial Revolution and mass market production of matzah. Up until a few hundred years ago matzah was more like a laffa bread than anything else. Jews of Sephardic descent still eat matzah like that today.
