Cheesies Crunchy Snack

About Cheesies

Cheesies is a UK-based snack brand that revolutionised the savoury snack market by creating a product made entirely from cheese. The brand's signature process involves taking individual cubes of cheese and baking or drying them until they become light, crunchy, and shelf-stable, without the need for artificial additives or carbohydrates. The product is marketed as a high-protein, keto-friendly alternative to traditional crisps.

Origin and Manufacturing

Founded in 2019 by Craig Anderson and David Folkman, the brand was born from a desire to create a healthy, single-ingredient snack. The manufacturing process takes place in the United Kingdom, utilizing specific dairy processing technology to achieve the unique crunch that defines the brand. The cheese varieties used—such as Cheddar, Gouda, and Emmental—are sourced to ensure high quality and consistency across their product range.

Ownership and Development

Originally launched by The Cheese Snack Company Ltd, Cheesies quickly gained traction in major UK retailers and international markets. In early 2022, the brand was acquired by Pook, a company specializing in innovative snack products. As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, Cheesies remains a prominent part of the Pook portfolio, continuing its growth as a leading name in the pure-cheese snack category while maintaining its headquarters and primary operations within the UK.
