Ed O’Donnell of O’Donnells Crisps said: “We are delighted to work with one of our favourite brands to develop this unique new flavour.

Maxine Hyde, Head of Sales and Marketing for Ballymaloe Foods, has said of the partnership: “For many years our customers have asked for Ballymaloe Relish flavoured crisps so we are thrilled to see this happen and with such a fantastic company O’Donnells! It was great fun developing the flavour with Ed and Kate O’Donnell. “
