Walkers Quavers Cheese Flavor

We are 5 days into our 31 days of British Snack reviews!  All of the snacks featured this month on our international snack blog will be offered for sale when our online store launches on January 1st!  Each month following we will add a new country and their unique snacks to our inventory and re-stock and grow our selection of snacks already on our website.  Today's featured British Snack is Walkers Quavers Cheese Flavor.

Walkers dominates the crisps (or chips) market in England and makes up for about 48% of all crisps sold in the UK.  Their parent company also owns FritoLay, so combined this is one of the greatest manufactures of chips in the world!  World of Snacks will offer a variety of Walker Crisps in the US and shipped around the world.  Out of all their offerings, the Walkers Quavers are the chip we were most excited to sample.

Our UK snack under review comes in a shinny yellow bag that reads: “Quavers Light Curly Potato Snack Cheese Flavour.”  Don't worry the word "Flavour" is not misspelled, that's how it's spelt in proper English.  In addition there is a Walkers logo and a few scattered Quavers.  Up top it also boasts there are only 88 calories, and that is quite a feat for a cheese-flavored chip.  Enough with how it looks; how does the Walkers Quavers Cheese Flavor taste?

Whoa!  The wait for this snack to arrive from England was definitely worth it.  I did spend time as a child in the UK but do not recall this British Snack.  It was actually my younger brother who mentioned we must carry Walkers Quavers and sell them online.  He was right!  The burst of cheese is intense and the chip is almost foamy and dissolves in your mouth.  The cheese flavor was so strong that one of our testers said it was too over-powering.  Our other taste testers disagreed, how can you have a chip that is too cheesy?  The texture is very unique and we struggled to compare it to any US chips, crisp, or anything else we have encountered on our exploration of the snack world.   The Walkers Quavers is one of my few chips that make my personal must try list for anyone looking to sample the best snacks in the world.

Want to buy Walkers Quavers Cheese Flavor?  Don’t worry at the end of the month you will be able to!  Tomorrow we continue our month long journey through British Snacks, be sure to check back and see what we will be reviewing.  Also if you want to stay informed on our progress and as we add other countries be sure to leave your details to the right.
