The ALDI Cucina Crisps range is being expanded by the retailer as a nod to the growing popularity of global cuisine flavors, but also of private label snack varieties.
The potato chip range is introducing the Margherita Pizza Crisps and the Garlic Bread Crisps as part of its Italian-inspired lineup that will catch the attention of foodies this summer as a way to surprise and delight guests when entertaining. The snacks each have a crinkle-cut composition that will maximize the amount of flavor in each piece. Priced at £1.15 per packet, the crisps are expected to be right at home within the brand's wider Italian cuisine-inspired private label range.
The new additions to the ALDI Cucina Crisps range will arrive this month starting June 4, 2026 at participating locations in the UK.
