Made for Drink adds posh pork scratchings to portfolio

Premium snacking brand Made for Drink has added Iberian Pork Chicharrones to its range.

Billed as a “more airy” version of a pork scratching, the snack is made with Iberian pork and designed to pair with a light-bodied lager. The rrp is £1.50 per 25g bag. 

Made for Drink founder Dan Featherstone said: “Traditionally in the UK a pork scratching is a full-bodied, intensely flavoured treat that requires some significant jaw work. My inclination was to build upon our strong Spanish ties forged during the creation of our award-winning Chorizo Thins and use highly-prized Iberian pork. By adopting the Spanish preference for cooking the pork rind twice, the second time at a much higher temperature the pork skin inflates, taking on an altogether more airy, melty texture.”
