About Boulder Canyon
Boulder Canyon makes kettle crisps cooked in avocado and olive oil, positioned at the natural end of the salty snack aisle. Utz acquired it with Inventure Foods in 2017. Cooking in those oils rather than in conventional vegetable oil costs considerably more, which is why the brand sits at a premium price in natural grocery.
