No salt.
Let that sink in. These crisps are cooked in extra virgin olive oil and then… nothing. No seasoning. No flavour addition. Just potato and oil and confidence that this is enough.
Is it enough?
Surprisingly, almost yes. The extra virgin olive oil provides flavour that standard vegetable oils don’t. There’s fruitiness, pepperiness, actual taste from the cooking medium. The potato comes through clearly, earthy and genuine, unmasked by salt or seasoning.
It’s an unusual eating experience. Your palate, conditioned by decades of salted snacks, keeps waiting for something that doesn’t arrive. The flavour is subtle. The texture does most of the work. You’re eating these for the crunch and the oil quality rather than taste in the conventional sense.
The pairing requirement
These crisps want accompaniment. Dips, specifically. They’re designed to be flavour vehicles, a premium base for whatever you’re scooping. Judged on that purpose, they’re excellent. Judged as standalone snacking, they’re an interesting experiment rather than a satisfying product.
Buy with hummus. Never buy alone.
