Alongside locally inspired flavors like Kirkby Malham Chorizo and Wissington Tomato is the first new flavor that Pipers Crisps has created in four years—Atlas Mountains Wild Thyme & Rosemary.
The premium potato chip flavor is described as one that's "grown-up," especially since it is designed to be served as an upscale snack in clubs, bars and pubs alongside spirits, cocktails, beer or non-alchoholic soft drinks. As well as offering flavors that pair well with a variety of sophisticated beverages, the chips are also suggested as companions for everything from sandwiches and soups to pastas and salads.
This particular regional-inspired flavor takes cues from patterns that have been observed across the food industry, including the rise of vegetarianism (these chips are both vegetarian- and vegan-friendly) and Mediterranean herb flavors.
