The snack packs consist of the brand's signature [baked cheese bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/granarolo-cheese-crisps) that are paired with [premium salami pieces and dried fruit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodega-snacking-duo), each placed into their own compartment in a tray-style packaging. The snacks come in two options including one with Whisps Asiago & Pepper Jack Bites, Milano Salami and Dried Cranberries, and another with Whisps Parmesan Bites, Calabrese Salami and Dried Papaya. CEO John Ghingo spoke on the new Whisps Protein Snackers saying, "Our team loves compartment snacks, and we have been watching the growth of that segment, but like all consumers, we found it frustrating that the current offerings in the market need to stay refrigerated and aren’t as convenient because of that. So we coupled Whisps real baked cheese with premium meat and fruit to create a better-for-you, elevated, protein-rich option adults can truly enjoy anytime, anywhere."
