Light, airy and crunchy
It’s hard to find something like this without all the additives, there seems to be only 2 companies I can find that don’t put a load of other stuff in I don’t want, like sugar, dextrose etc, and a load of other spices I can’t tolerate, this is one of the companies, just pork and salt in this flavour.After having some pork scratchings a from the other company which were really nice but had a few tooth breakers bits in them and they worked out at £2 a pack, I thought I would try these puffs, they are very puffy, as the name suggest, light, airy and crunchy, and have a nice flavour, my only issue is the amount of salt, they are very salty, but they are also very more’ish and scratch that snack and crisp itch quite nicely, i pop them in a paper towel and shake them about a bit which removes some of the excess salt.At just over £1 a bag for a box of 20 they are also better value, especially as I can only eat half a bag a time because of the saltiness, and they tend to get stuck in my throat if I eat to many, so have a drink handy, also because they are light and airy they are quite big bags.I would definitely buy them again in the future……..Edit, I did repurchase thinking maybe it was a oversalted batch and wanted to try them again, I am glad I did as I was really pleased to find they have reduced the salt by 1%, doesn’t seem much but makes all of difference.

Delicious
Really flavoursome, indulgent but guilt free snack - tasty and satisfying. Crunchy without the jaw breaking hardness that sometimes comes with fried pork crackling.

Very good product. One of the best available. Needs slight improvement.
I would like more yeast extract to ramp up the flavour but otherwise I really like this product. 3 simple ingredients, no added sugars or carbs. They aren't too salty either. I would like to see the cooking method detailed more clearly; at least clarifying if any seed oils have been used, animal fat, or air fried with no additional oils or fats used.

I can snack again!!!
Fantastic keto snacks. Great flavors without going overboard on anything in particular.Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar:Ohhh man does this taste exactly as it sounds. 100% cider vinegar with the perfect level of saltiness. I grab a bag of these any time I'm craving chips and it really does the trick for me.Smokey Bacon:I absolutely love these, but for a different reason than Salted or Salt & Vinegar. Without intending any insult, these guys taste like dirty, cheap, fattening bacon crisps IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY. You really feel like having just 1 rind is cheating on your dietary plan with how indulgent the flavor comes. I'm a reformed fatty, so I do sometimes miss those "terrible for your health" kind of crisps. These taste the same with none of the guilt. If you're trying to escape snacking and want something better (provided calorie control and a balanced diet are accounted for), then get these and you'll be satisfied for life.Salt:Ohhh boy, saving the best for last. This beautiful bag can only be described as the keto popcorn we've all been waiting for. I know my review hasn't exactly been scathing so far, but it definitely isn't going any closer now. For someone who's had to drop as many carbs as possible, these really are a godsend. My partner and I love spending evenings watching movies and used to love splitting a bowl of popcorn, but sadly my dietary change meant the traditional snack more or less "had to go". For me, these bags deliverer an incredibly close flavor (I actually prefer it) to buttered & salted popcorn but with none carbs. That being said, it has to be pointed out that the calories aren't even close to on-par when measuring by weight.All in all, I think these Curator fella's may have earnt themselves a longtime customer. I doubt anyone will call me M. Night Shyamalan for that twist ending though.

Usually good but the last box had a short code and had slight rancid taste.

Scratches the crisps itch
If you're keto or low carb, and you get the itchings for crisps, these are a brilliant option.I should say quickly: we mostly get the salted, but I have some of salt and vinegar, and some of the new cheese flavour on order, so I'll mention those specifically if they're spectacular, but we've also tried the smoky bacon and they upset both of our stomachs. Without being too gross, they kept repeating on us all day, and if either of us (forgive me!) burped, it tasted just awful. Thankfully by the morning, it was gone, but it was horrid. That's only the smoked bacon, though - we've never had any issues with the salted, which are fab, and which is what I'm really reviewing.Every now and then they are a teensy bit dusty, and they definitely come in varying degrees of freshness - I wish they were more consistent - but they really are great. They're crunchy and meaty and won't kick you out of ketosis. They're not the same thing as pork scratchings, so if you're needing to protect your teeth, these are fine. They're not airy, really... they're kind of like large, crunchy Wotsits, or Monster Munch.Quick tip, actually: they're also brilliant in place of bread, or crackers: scoop some cream cheese into one and add ham... it's delightful. They're also good broken up over the top of a salad.They're not cheap, which is a shame, but if you're serious about your diet and you're trying to find things that will help you stay on the straight and narrow, this is one of the best snacks/cracker alternatives you'll find.
