The O'Donnell family are incredibly proud and honoured to win 4 GREAT TASTE AWARDS!!!!
Obviously we love our crisps but The Great Taste Awards are The world's largest awards, blind tasted by experts so what a major seal of approval that means to us!
Below are some of the judges comments on our 4 flavours which each won a 1-star Great Taste Award:
O'Donnells Hickory smoked crisps:
"Superb texture, Terrific crunch. This flavour is big, bold, spicy and moreish, this is a crisp that you keep going back to for more"
"A good proportion of large sized crisps with an even golden bake and smokey sweet aroma. There is plenty of sweetness and salt and a fun little kick of chilli."
O'Donnells Irish Sea Salt crisps:
"Very attractively bubbled crisps. It's always good to see the whole crosscut potato with the skins. These are good, simply flavoured crisps that have been handled very well. The level of salt is just right."
O'Donnells Mature cheese & Red onion crisps:
"Beautiful golden crunchy crisps. The crackle of these crisps is on a high decibel level.These are not going to be popular in quiet moments in the cinema. The delivery of the two main flavours is direct and honest. The cheese hit is bold and the sweet onion flavour complements and balances well. A crisp that truly fits the description."
"Fabulous looking well-fried thin crisps with a great crunch. The flavour of the potato stands up well to the well judged cheese flavour which brings both a sweet and savoury note. These crisps have been produced with great finesse: from the preparation of the thin skin-on slices, to the frying and to the added seasoning so that all the ingredients are working in harmony to produce a great tasting crisp that really has the cheese and onion taste.
O'Donnells Sweet chilli crisps:
"Deep golden crisps, with a chilli hue, cut to an even thickness from unpeeled potatoes. Crisp and crunchy to eat with a gentle chilli hit leaving a spicy warmth in the mouth. Not at all oily in flavour or mouthfeel."
"Attractive and neat looking crisps. Thin and crispy! A clear sweet chili flavour with a good level of heat that cut through the sweetness. Very fresh and moreish crisps!"
