UNION is inviting consumers to discover an "entirely new charcuterie experience" and "next-level snacking" with its charcuterie crisps, which can be enjoyed on their own or dipped into a condiment of one's choosing for even more flavor. In collaboration with Made for Drink UK, UNION is introducing these new crisps in varieties like Chorizo Crisps, Genoa Crisps, Salami Crisps and Sopressata Crisps, each of which draws inspiration from global cuisines.
UNION sets itself apart as a snack company that combines plant and animal ingredients to offer inventive new takes on food and snacks that have become familiar. Although reinventing food experiences is a large focus for the company, so is changing the way food production impacts the planet. As such, these new crisps from UNION are made with a focus on regenerative sourcing.
