Biddenden is a Kent vineyard and cider producer. Their cider vinegar, a byproduct of cider production, provides the sourness for these crisps. Kent ingredients on Kent crisps from a Kent crisp company. Maximum local commitment.
The cider vinegar provides different sourness than malt. Fruitier, rounder, with apple heritage evident in every tangy note. It’s still definitely salt and vinegar. It’s just better salt and vinegar, with depth and complexity that generic vinegar can’t achieve.
The provenance adds meaning beyond flavour. You’re supporting local production chains. You’re eating something with a story, with connections to real places and real producers.
On Kent Crisps’ excellent hand-cooked base, the cider vinegar finds proper expression. Thick crisps maintain crunch despite acidic seasoning. Quality throughout.
Local food systems working as they should.
