pladis, the global snacking company behind some of the UK’s most loved and iconic brands, is extending its consumer favourite Jacob’s Mini Cheddars range with two new limited edition flavours, Mini Cheddars Chipotle & Lime flavour and Mini Cheddars Nacho Cheese flavour.
Mini Cheddars Chipotle & Lime flavour combines the smoky heat of chipotle peppers with the bright acidity of lime, creating a vibrant and zesty taste, while Mini Cheddars Nacho Cheese flavour combines cheese with spices for a rich, savoury taste.
“We’re adding two exciting Mini Cheddars limited edition flavours to our popular baked snack range, just in time for this year’s summer of sport,” explains Kate Stokes, Marketing Manager, pladis UK&I. “We’re combining on-trend culinary flavours, such as the popular smoky spice chipotle with cooling lime, and adding a super-cheesy twist to our baked cheese favourites.
“We are tapping into the increasing interest in Mexican flavours, where there’s a growing appetite for spicy, tangy and savoury profiles, which is pushing ingredients such as chipotle into the mainstream. One of the top trends is pairing spicy elements like jalapeños with creamy cheese to balance the heat, as in nacho cheese.”
Mini Cheddars Chipotle & Lime flavour and Mini Cheddars Nacho Cheese flavour are included in an engaging on-pack campaign running throughout this year’s summer of sport. The on-pack runs on Jacob’s sharing and grab bag formats across Crinklys BIG, Twiglets and Mini Cheddars Cheeselets baked snacks range. The campaign is timed to leverage these exciting sporting events, which are key for the crisps and snacks category as sales rise steeply when friends and family gather to enjoy their favourite sports.
