Cork ingredients used in new crisps from Dublin firm Keogh’s Farm
Keogh’s Farm, “maker of Ireland’s finest hand-cooked on the farm crisps”, has added a new range to its potato product portfolio. Ploughed with deep ridges for even more flavour, “Keogh’s Crinkle Cut Crisps” are the first and only Irish owned, grown, cooked and flavoured crinkle cut crisps on sale in the Irish market.
The brand says Cork suppliers have been very important to the business with Gubbeen supplying the Chorizo for one flavour, and O’Neill’s in Beara supplying the Irish Atlantic Sea Salt used in other flavours. Keogh’s are also currently doing lots of tastings in Cork in support of this product launch.
Irish Cheddar and Red Onion, a new take on the classic combo, is created with a robust cheese from Carbery, Co Cork and paired with Irish red onion for a more intensely flavoured take on Ireland’s favourite flavour.
Available in 4 flavours, Keogh’s Crinkle Cut Crisps remain true to the core values of the North Country Dublin family business and use only the finest Irish ingredients in their creation.
In another tasty twist, Atlantic Sea Salt is paired with Balsamic Vinegar perfectly balancing the sharp and the sweet. A
Meat lovers will love the brand-new Flame Grilled Irish Steak flavour which contains 100% Irish steak, flame grilled and ground down into a seasoning which is added to freshly cooked crisps after cooling.
Also new to the Keogh’s flavour family is Irish Sea Salt and Crushed Black Pepper, a unique and delicious flavour with a spicy kick.
Commenting on the new Crinkle Cut range, Tom Keogh, Managing Director at Keogh’s Farm, said: “Crinkle Cut crisps are something we’ve been experimenting with for a while on the farm. I’m personally a big fan of the strong bite and more intense flavour that this type of crisp provides and getting the balance between texture and flavour right was the most important thing for us. We’re delighted to bring this new range to market and are really proud to bring the first truly-Irish Crinkle Cut Crisps to market.”
Keogh’s Crinkle Cut Crisps are available in stores nationwide from August 2017. RRP €1.20-€2.89
