Truffle on crisps is either wonderful indulgence or ridiculous pretension depending on your perspective. Tyrrells doesn’t care which you think. They’ve made truffle crisps anyway.
The truffle is genuine. That distinctive earthy, fungal, almost dirty luxury that makes truffle truffle. It’s applied with restraint, perfuming rather than overwhelming, suggesting luxury rather than drowning in it.
The sea salt provides foundation, clean and mineral. Together they create something that tastes expensive, that signals sophistication, that works surprisingly well as a flavour combination.
Tyrrells’ hand-cooked base is essential. Truffle on thin cheap crisps would be ridiculous. Truffle on substantial premium crisps is merely indulgent.
Occasion crisps
These are for dinner parties, for impressing guests, for moments when regular crisps seem insufficient. They’re statement snacks.
For those occasions, they work beautifully.
