First impressions were strong — from the moment the bag opened, there was a rich, cheesy aroma that actually smelled like real mature cheddar, not the usual artificial smell.
The crisps themselves looked the part too: golden, with a dusting of seasoning that promised flavour in every bite.
More chive, less cheese
These crisps deliver on their promise of mature cheddar and spring onion, thanks largely to the genuine cheese flavour that sets them apart from the usual suspects. The cheese is just a pleasantly gentle note.
The seasoning strikes a great balance—bold but not overpowering—and the spring onion adds a fresh lift (although I personally felt it had more of the grassy notes of chive.
With a satisfyingly crunch and just the right amount of seasoning dust, they feel like a premium treat rather than a throwaway snack.
Overall, a standout cheese and onion crisp that’s definitely worth reaching for again. Everything about them felt dialled up in the best way — indulgent, moreish, and unmistakably M&S.
