Each wafer features a precise double-sided cross embossment, is thicker and more durable than typical white wafers, and comes in a convenient bulk container perfect for all ages and ceremonial uses. ## Description The Cavanagh Company uses baking methods established by historical liturgical guidelines, combining only flour and water for the process. The mixture is then spread between flat, rectangular plates that compress the mixture as the plates move through a gas-fired oven. These ovens produce rectangular sheets of wafer-thin bread, which are then passed through a humidifier for dampening, enabling the bread to be cut into circles without crumbling. As the bread is cut, it passes under a turning drum of dyes that incise the wafers with religious symbols. Review: Taste is like a communion wafer - These are communion, you're not supposed to taste these. Review: Love the Whole Wheat - These are perfect. There is more substance to them vs the white; the white is more like styrofoam. They are a bit thick, which is nice. The edges seem sealed and they don't crumble. A nice + (plus sign) in the middle of each round, front and back. They are easy to break into 2 or 4 sections. I have a small Pyx and 7 fit in without a problem, I could have fit a few more...plus there was plenty of room to stick my fingers in to pick one up from the stack of wafers. I don't see any broken pieces in the container. They shipped well. They taste fresh. They don't dissolve as quickly as the white wafers, so for elderly or the sick who have a problem with wafers, I would stick with the white. Or you can break these into quarters which would help. I would and will purchase these again. I use these for when I can't make true communion with a Consecrated Host. It is part of my daily, at home, spiritual communion during the week. ## Features - 5/1/2014 - CAVANAGH COMPANY - Communion - Whole Wheat Wafers - Cross Design (1 - 1/8") - Bottle Of 1000 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003AKDA7W | | ASIN | B003AKDA7W | | Age Range Description | All Ages | | Allergen Information | Wheat | | Best Sellers Rank | #62,662 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #226 in Sandwich Breads | | Brand Name | Cavanagh | | Color | red | | Container Type | Bottle | | Cuisine | Western | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (259) | | Flavor | Wheat | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Flatbread | | Item Package Weight | 0.39 Kilograms | | Item Type Name | food | | Item Weight | 11.84 ounces | | Item model number | 128768 | | Manufacturer | Cavanagh Company | | Manufacturer | Cavanagh Company | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 9.84 x 4.21 x 4.09 inches; 11.84 ounces | | Size | 1000 Count (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Vegetarian | | UPC | 662177118102 767563290469 | | UPC | 662177118102 767563290469 | | Unit Count | 11.84 Ounce | | Units | 11.84 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Allergen Information:** Wheat - **Brand:** Cavanagh - **Flavor:** Wheat - **Item Weight:** 11.84 ounces - **Specialty:** Vegetarian ## Images ![Cavanagh Altar Bread - 1 1/8" Whole Wheat - 1000/Container - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61m6R-ZN0HL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taste is like a communion wafer *by C***D on January 25, 2026* These are communion, you're not supposed to taste these. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the Whole Wheat *by S***R on April 12, 2016* These are perfect.

I was making fresh bread but that got tedious to do communion every day. I bought a pyx because I'm making my own traveling alter kit. I'm not catholic I just follow Jesus. One of the things about him is his sacraments because there is wisdom in the stories of them and how they react with us and our spiritual quest. These aren't bad and I love that their bite sized pieces. I've tried the white ones that taste like rice paper. Everyone else said they taste like styraphome but I've had rice paper before and its just a thicker piece of it almost. I've also tried making my own small ones but again its just a bother. For someone who's looking for communion on the go or is wanting to try different things I'd say these are perfect especially for a family or one person. It's just me who does this every day so these should last for a while. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/10420713-cavanagh-altar-bread-1-1-8-whole-wheat-1000-container](https://www.desertcart.be/products/10420713-cavanagh-altar-bread-1-1-8-whole-wheat-1000-container) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
