A Big Cheese Crossover
The cheese-flavoured crisp is a British institution, a non-negotiable part of any multi-pack selection. Most, however, are generic ‘cheese’ or the ubiquitous ‘cheese and onion’. This new concept takes a different route, hitching its wagon to a specific, dominant brand: Cathedral City. The mockup presents a standard 165g Pringles tube, but the branding is a straight-up collaboration. The familiar deep red of the cheese brand takes over the packaging, prominently featuring the Lichfield Cathedral logo and a photorealistic block of its signature Mature Cheddar.
It’s a logical, if ambitious, choice of partner. Saputo’s Cathedral City is the UK’s biggest-selling cheese by a significant margin, holding a brand recognition that few others can match. The choice of the standard ‘Mature’ variety, rather than a milder or stronger variant, roots the idea firmly in the mainstream. It’s not trying to be a niche product for deli shoppers. This is a play for the dead centre of the savoury snack market. The image itself is simple, showing the iconic Pringles saddle-shaped crisps alongside the block of cheese they’re theoretically flavoured with. The caption that accompanied the image was direct: “Cathedral City Mature Cheddar Pringles! Get in my basket!”
The Pringles Range
Pringles already has a presence in the cheese category. Their current UK range includes a long-standing Cheese & Onion flavour, a staple that has been part of the core lineup for years. A branded cheddar variant would need to carve out its own space next to this established SKU. It would be positioned as a more premium, specific offering against the broader, more generic flavour. The rest of the Pringles range is built around similar classics: Original, Salt & Vinegar, and Sour Cream & Onion are the foundational pillars.
Alongside them sit the bolder, smokier profiles of Texas BBQ, Paprika, and Smokey Bacon. More recently, the brand has experimented with intense heat, launching flavours like Pringles Hot Blazin Fried Chicken. A Cathedral City edition would represent a different kind of innovation altogether. This isn’t about heat levels or exotic seasonings, but a specific, recognisable ingredient. It’s a strategic move from a generic flavour profile to a specific brand promise, leveraging the reputation of a product from a completely different part of the supermarket. It would be the first major cheese brand crossover for Pringles in the UK, a format more commonly seen in the standard bagged crisp market.
What the real range looks like
The current Pringles UK range focuses on classics like Original, Salt & Vinegar, Paprika, Texas BBQ, Smokey Bacon, Sour Cream & Onion, and Cheese & Onion. A Cathedral City flavour would be a new, branded-ingredient addition to this core lineup, sitting alongside the existing Cheese & Onion variant.
