Parm Crisp Original

Parm Crisp Original is a Parmesan-style crisp from Esplanda, sold as a snack. The name points to a cheese-forward, savory flavor. Crisps in this style are usually thin and crunchy with a salty, nutty, toasted-dairy taste. The "Original" label suggests the plain flavor in the range, with no added seasoning blend. Cheese crisps usually work as a crunchy stand-in for crackers or chips. They suit a cheese or charcuterie board, where they add a crisp, concentrated cheese note beside softer cheeses, cured meats and fruit. They can also be crumbled over soups, salads or pasta for texture, or eaten straight from the bag. For drinks, expect them to go with beverages that cut through salt and richness, such as crisp white wine, sparkling wine or a light lager. Serve them at room temperature, and reseal the bag once it's open so the crisps stay crunchy.
