Cheese snacks abound. You\u2019ve got your Cheez-Its, your Goldfish, your Cheetos. And if you\u2019re like me, you love all of them. The purest, most unadulterated cheese snack of all, though, existed long before any of these processed favorites\u2014and it\u2019s called frico.<\/p>\n

The Italian specialty has been around for generations, but thanks to the keto diet and the newfound call to know what\u2019s in our food, frico is back in the mainstream. This time around, we know it as cheese crisps.<\/p>\n

Cheese crisps are pieces of lacy fried cheese that can be formed into bowls<\/a>, chips or a crunchy garnish. Hailing from northeast Italy, the dish\u2014along with a softer version carrying the same name\u2014has been passed down from one generation to the next.<\/p>\n
