Lays Delicate Cheese with Truffle Potato Chips

I'm a total sucker for cheese and truffle, and these Lays chips deliver big time. The flavor is rich and indulgent, making them the perfect snack to munch on. The combo of creamy cheese and earthy truffle is seriously addictive - you'll be hooked from the first bite.

Tastes like truffle? Not quite, but there's a pleasant surprise

summarizeEditor's Summary

I'll be the first to admit it: chips aren't the healthiest snack option. But sometimes, you just want to indulge in a tasty treat while watching a good movie. I recently tried Lay's Potato Chips with Brie Cheese and Truffle, and while they didn't quite live up to their name, they did surprise me with a pleasant flavor. The chips are crunchy, and the brie cheese and truffle notes are subtle but enjoyable. It's a great option if you're looking for a snack that's a little more sophisticated than your average potato chip - it's perfect for pairing with cold drinks or as a quick snack, and the flavor is complex and interesting, with notes of brie cheese and truffle. Plus, the packaging is visually appealing and stands out on store shelves.

Hello!
I'll be the first to admit it: chips aren't the healthiest snack option. But sometimes, you just want to indulge in a tasty treat while watching a good movie. My husband brought home a new flavor of our favorite Lay's chips, which I thought was a new release. But it turns out it was actually a flavor from three years ago - I just hadn't heard about it. Well, the chips are gone, and I've formed an opinion, so let's get started!
Full name - Lay's Potato Chips with Brie Cheese and Truffle
Lay's Potato Chips with Brie Cheese and TruffleManufacturer's info:
These Lay's potato chips with brie cheese and truffle flavor have a crunchy texture and excellent taste. They're perfect for pairing with cold drinks or as a quick snack. They're also filling and energizing, and can help to tone and recharge.Brand Lay's.
Produced in Russia, Moscow Oblast.
Price without discount 179 roubles, but of course, most stores have promotions and discounts. My husband bought them for 139 roubles, and I saw them for 119 roubles at a nearby Pyaterochka store.
Place of purchase - "Krasnoe i Beloe", but you can find these chips in other stores like 5, Magnit, Peresekrostok, Lenta, Samokat, and more. If these chips made it to our remote area, then there shouldn't be a shortage.
Packaging looks nice to me, with a deep wine-inspired color scheme. The image of brie cheese and truffle slices on the front is appetizing and helps with sales, at least out of curiosity. The back has all the necessary information in multiple languages.
Lay's Potato Chips with Brie Cheese and TruffleThere's a subtle wine reference from the manufacturer, but I think nobody drinks wine with chips )))
Potato Chips Lays Delicate Cheese with TruffleI was expecting a lot of empty space inside the bag, but nope, the chips take up about a third of the packaging.
Potato Chips Lays Delicate Cheese with TruffleBut the main part of the bag is actually full, with only a few broken chips.
Ingredients:
Potato Chips Lays Delicate Cheese with TrufflePotato, vegetable oils, complex food additive (wheat flour, salt, milk powder, whey powder, whole milk powder, flavor enhancer and aroma (monosodium glutamate 1-replaced), sugar, dried vegetables (onion powder, garlic powder), cheese powder (contains emulsifying salt - di-sodium phosphate 2-replaced), buttermilk powder, flavoring substances, acidity regulators (lactic acid, calcium lactate, citric acid), yeast extract, black pepper, sunflower oil, anti-sticking agent - amorphous silicon dioxide). The product may contain a small amount of soy, fish powder, shellfish, mustard.It's not terrible, but I wouldn't recommend overindulging in this product.
Calories:
Per 100g of product: 535 kcal, including: protein - 6.5g; fat - 32g; carbohydrates - 53g.The numbers are pretty shocking, with one serving making up about a third of the average person's daily calorie intake. And let's be real, we know what we're getting when we buy chips.
Weight 93g, which is roughly the size of a standard serving. I've only seen packaging this light in single-serve bags.
Smell is pleasant, not overpowering, and... unexpectedly cheesy. It smells like a rye bread crust with garlic, old-school style. I was expecting a stronger cheese and truffle aroma, but nope. The garlic is definitely present in the ingredients, but it shouldn't overpower the other flavors.
Appearance is standard for Lays: a mix of different sizes and shapes, some twisted, some straight. They have a nice yellow color.
Lays Potato Chips with Truffle and Cream CheeseI was pleasantly surprised by the lack of visible seasoning. There weren't many burnt, darkened, or broken chips, which is a plus.
The flavor. First off, these chips are moderately salty, not spicy, and pretty greasy – not dripping with oil, but still. There are less oily options from Lays, if you're into that. The flavor isn't super pronounced, but from the first chip, I picked up on an unexpected taste – horseradish. Yeah, I know, it's not listed in the ingredients or description. I tried a few more chips, and it's definitely there. I asked my husband what he thought, and after some thought, he said 'wasabi.' And you know what? I can taste the wasabi too. The thing is, these chips aren't spicy at all.
There's no hint of truffle flavor whatsoever. I've only had truffle in other dishes, but you'd think it'd be noticeable in chips. Nope.
The cheese flavor is there, but it's super subtle – you can barely taste it. The cheese powder is definitely in the mix, but it's not doing much for me.
These chips are super filling, but the satisfaction doesn't last long.
Talking about pairing with drinks is a bit silly, but I think they'd go well with a beer. We had them with lemonade, and that worked too.
The verdict. These Lays Potato Chips with Truffle and Cream Cheese are fine, but they're not memorable. They're not bad, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy them again. There are better options out there. That being said, there's nothing particularly wrong with them. If you want to try them, go for it – but if you can't find a flavor you like, you won't be missing out.
