O’Donnells celebrates 15 year’s in business
The creators of Ireland’s most awarded crisps are now excited to launch their latest flavour sensation: O’Donnell’s Hot Honey Fusion
Print29 July 2025
2025 marks 15 years since O’Donnells crisps launched into the Irish market.
O’Donnells’ renowned crisps owe their exceptional quality to the premium potatoes carefully grown on the family farm in Seskin, Co. Tipperary. Backed by a farming tradition spanning seven generations and more than 300 years, the O’Donnell family has truly perfected the art of potato cultivation.
O’Donnells Crisps were the original hand-cooked crisps in Ireland, using local food producers for great flavours.
First launching during a recession in 2010 with just two flavours, Mature Cheese & Red Onion and Irish Cider Vinegar & Sea Salt, the range has now grown and won the hearts of the Irish nation.
New flavour
The creators of Ireland’s most awarded crisps are now excited to launch their latest flavour sensation: O’Donnell’s Hot Honey Fusion.
O’Donnell’s Hot Honey Fusion taps into the growing popularity of the hot honey flavour trend, expertly blending fiery spice with smooth, natural honey sweetness.
Each crisp offers a bold, tantalising kick followed by a rich, mellow finish of the honey, creating a truly memorable flavour experience.
Designed for sharing, this snack brings friends and family together with every satisfying, crunchy bite.
Alongside the launch of their highly anticipated Hot Honey Fusion flavour, O’Donnells are proud to spotlight the inspiration behind this bold new addition, a Tipperary neighbour and Michelin star-trained chef, Declan Malone of Rivesci.
Taking cues from the rich, spicy-sweet profile of Dec’s Hot Honey from Rivesci, Hot Honey Fusion offers a unique snacking experience that pays homage to Irish innovation and flavour.
As fellow members of the Tipperary Food Producers Network, O’Donnells and Rivesci celebrate the spirit of Irish craftsmanship, supporting local producers and delivering high-quality, culinary creations to customers across the country.
O’Donnell’s new Hot Honey Fusion flavour is the latest addition to their crisp range, joining a much-loved lineup that includes Mature Cheese & Red Onion, Irish Cider Vinegar & Sea Salt, Ballymaloe Relish & Cheddar Cheese, Fire Roasted Buffalo Wings, Classic Prawn Cocktail, Irish Sea Salt, and Sour Cream & Onion.
“We’re incredibly excited to launch this bold new Hot Honey Fusion flavour, which brings something truly different to our crisp range,” said Ed and Kate O’Donnell.
Partnering with Declan and Shannon from Rívesci, being fellow members of the Tipperary Food Producers Network, makes it even more special.
“As a family-run business rooted in Irish soil, it’s important to us that we champion local producers who share our passion for quality and craft, and we can’t wait for people to try it.”
“Commenting on the partnership, Shannon Forrest and Declan Malone, co-founders and husband and wife team, said: “Collaborating with a well-renowned and established Irish brand like O’Donnell’s has been a real honour.
“Their crisps are loved across the country, and we are so excited about this partnership with a truly loved Irish brand. It’s a proud moment for us to be part of something on this
scale.”
O’Donnell’s crisps remain proudly gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly, made without artificial colours, flavours, MSG, or GM ingredients.
The Hot Honey Fusion flavour is available nationwide in 44g and 125g sharing bags.
