KETTLE® Chips (United Kingdom) is pleased to announce that it has introduced three seasonal flavours to its sharing range of delicious, hand cooked chips in time for the key Christmas sales period.

KETTLE® Chips Soy, Ginger, Chilli & Honey has been launched as the winter seasonal edition and replaces the summer flavour of Thai Sweet Chilli, Lemongrass & Coriander. In addition, two new Christmas seasonings, Beef, Red Wine & Shallot and White Stilton® & Cranberry Relish, are being released for a limited period. All the new products are perfect for festive parties or for simply sharing with friends and family this winter.

Winter Seasonal Edition

KETTLE® Chips has launched Soy, Ginger, Chilli & Honey as a festive seasoning to help brighten the cold winter months. Perfect as a Christmas indulgence, the new flavour combines a selection of complementary flavours on an authentic, hand-cooked crisp.

Like all KETTLE® Chips, this special edition was the brainchild of the KETTLE® Chef, Chris Barnard, who was tasked with creating a warming seasoning to see us through the winter. Chris combined the savoury moreishness of soy sauce, with the zing of ginger, heat of chilli and added a touch of honey for sweetness, to produce this simple, yet delicious seasoning.

Limited edition Christmas specials

KETTLE® Chips has also created two limited edition Christmas specials. Available in 150g bags for sharing, these are bound to brighten the cold winter months and are perfect for festive entertaining:

  • Beef, Red Wine & Shallot is a rich and warming recipe which captures the spirit of winter food.
  • White Stilton® & Cranberry Relish brings together a fresh, creamy cheese with fruity tanginess in a classic Christmas combination.
As with all KETTLE® Chips, the Christmas products are made from the finest potatoes and hand-cooked in batches, using sunflower oil.

Andrew Slamin marketing director at Kettle Foods comments:

“Consumers are more inclined to treat themselves and their guests at Christmas so KETTLE® Chips are always popular at this time of year. As the festive season approaches, the limited edition flavours will help to capitalise on consumers’ desire to buy premium products to share and will bring some excitement to the category.”
KETTLE® Chips is the UK’s original and number one hand cooked crisp, growing ahead of the rest of the market (Nielsen data to 10th October 2015), making it the ‘must stock’ premium sharing brand for retailers in the run up to Christmas. As an iconic brand KETTLE® can help retailers to capitalise on consumer trends towards better quality snacking options with no artificial ingredients or added MSG. The commitment to innovation helps to keep the KETTLE® portfolio fresh and offers retailers something new for their customers.
