## Description

Red onion and cheese is one of the classic pairings, usually as a chutney on the side. These Melts bake the onion into the cracker: dried red onion (2%) and dried onion go into the dough with a natural flavouring, a little citric acid and sugar, so each cracker tastes gently of caramelised onion.Like the rest of the Melts range, the dough uses coconut, palm, sunflower and rapeseed oils and is raised with ammonium and sodium bicarbonate. That gives the layered, melt in the mouth texture Melts are named for, rather than the snap of a water biscuit.Taste and textureExpect a sweet and savoury onion flavour with a light tang from the citric acid. Sugars are 6.8g per 100g and salt 1.28g per 100g, which is lower in salt than Melts Cheese. The texture is short and flaky.What is in itWheat flour, vegetable oils (coconut, palm, sunflower, rapeseed), sugar, raising agents (ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate), dried red onion (2%), salt, potassium chloride, natural flavouring, citric acid, dried onion, maltodextrin and L cysteine as a flour treatment agent. The label declares wheat (gluten).Serving itPut them next to a mature Cheddar or a crumbly Lancashire and you have the cheese and onion pairing without a jar. They also work with a slice of ham or a spoon of pâté, and with a strong cheese on a mixed board.Safety & dietaryThe label declares gluten (cereals). Recipes and factory arrangements change, so check the allergy advice on the pack you receive.

## Flavour Science

The bake: raising agents open up the dough and the blend of four vegetable oils keeps the layers short, so the cracker breaks into tender flakes.The flavour: dried red onion and dried onion carry the caramelised onion note, sugar adds sweetness and colour, and citric acid gives a light tang.The finish: at 1.28g of salt per 100g the finish is savoury but not heavy, so the onion stays in front.
