Our Review Factors
What were we looking for in Parle Monaco Piri Piri biscuits?
Crisp biscuits with a favorable balance of the seasoning, this is what we anticipated.
1. Taste
Originally, Monaco biscuits are salted. The salt to biscuit ratio is spot-on, which makes them addictive.
In the Piri Piri variant, were the salt-sugar-spice in sync? Or did one overpower the others?
These biscuits also contain some oil, was it fresh or rancid?
2. Texture
Were the biscuits crisp? Did they have a buttery bite? Had they been well-baked? Can these be paired with some cheese?
3. Other Parameters
The non-tasting parameters like price, packaging, shelf life were gauged here.

Taste + Texture
The biscuits were baked to perfection and had a fairly decent crunch. They had a buttery bite which uplifted the flavors further. In terms of taste, the Piri Piri tag is justified well.

Well-rounded salt, prominent presence of Piri Piri, cheese, and garlic, this innovative flavor profile really worked.
