Pre-chip: I'm not sure if I've ever had authentic Cacio e Pepe pasta, but I love a creamy, buttery noodle with Parm and pepper. My go-to "Cacio e pepe" is taking Annie's Butter and Parmesean Mac and cheese and zhuzhing it up. I'm basically expecting that, but in chip form, which, if so, should be awesome.
Ingredients: potatoes, vegetable oil, seasoning (maltodextril, buttermilk solids, salt, spices, whey powder, cheese powder, cream powder, natural flavour)
First smell: smells of powdered dairy and pepper, and not too far off from Miss Vickie's Lime and Black Pepper flavoured chips.
First taste: Oh, yeah. Definitely, getting that zing of pepper on side of my tongue, and the whey/cheese/cream powers coat the top of the tongue. I'm definitely getting the cacio e pepe-adjacent flavour
Aftertaste:The creamy cheesiness lingers while the tingle of pepper haunts the taste buds. Delish.
Mass consumption: It's a pretty rich potato chip, so I may get oversaturated at some point but I'm certainly enjoying them in a very addictive fashion. I can probably keep eating and eating but I know that eating kettle chips, more so than regular chips, tend to unsettle my stomach, so I need to nosh lightly.
Final thoughts:I freaking love it. It's a limited edition flavour so I'm going to have to stock up.
