Jones Crisps - Welsh Mature Cheese & Onion - 150g

Jones Crisps Welsh Mature Cheese and Onion, in a 150g sharing bag, is a hand cooked potato crisp from the Welsh producer Jones o Gymru. It was one of the three original flavours the company launched with in 2011, alongside Halen Môn salted and Halen Môn sea salt and vinegar, and it remains one of the most popular items in the range, built around a classic cheese and onion combination given a distinctly Welsh identity through the use of mature Welsh cheese in the seasoning.

Jones o Gymru was founded in 2011 and is based in Pwllheli on the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales, growing out of trials of blight-resistant potato varieties that had been under way for a couple of years before the company launched commercially at the Royal Welsh Show. It is the only UK crisp manufacturer owned by a Welsh-based company, and its potatoes are 100% British grown, sourced from Anglesey, Pembrokeshire, or Monmouthshire depending on the season. From its earliest flavours onward, the company has placed an emphasis on genuinely Welsh ingredients rather than generic flavourings, and the cheese and onion recipe reflects that approach by drawing on mature Welsh cheese for its seasoning.

Each crisp is hand cooked in high oleic sunflower oil, producing a thicker, more textured bite than the thin, uniform crisps typical of larger industrial crisp brands. The cheese and onion flavour follows the familiar pairing of a sharp, tangy onion note against a rounded, savoury cheese character, with the use of mature cheese giving a slightly stronger, more developed flavour than a standard mild cheese and onion crisp. This 150g bag is sized for sharing rather than single servings, making it well suited to gatherings, bar snacks, or simply having a larger bag on hand at home.

Cheese and onion crisps are one of the most reliable pairings with beer, working particularly well with session ales, bitters, and malt-forward lagers, where the savoury cheese notes complement the beer's own malt character. The bag also works well as part of a wider spread alongside cold meats, pickles, and bread, or simply served in a bowl at a gathering where guests can help themselves. Its larger format makes it a practical choice for stocking behind a bar or for events where smaller single-serve bags would run out too quickly.

For anyone stocking genuinely Welsh snacks, Jones Crisps Welsh Mature Cheese and Onion in the 150g sharing size offers one of the brand's founding flavours in a format built for company. It is a straightforward, well-made crisp from an independent Welsh producer that has kept its focus on quality ingredients since it first launched in 2011.
