Amica Chips - Rosemary Potato Chips 130g

Amica Chips was founded in 1990 in Castiglione delle Stiviere, a town in the Lombardy province of Mantua, by Alfredo Moratti and his friend Andrea Romanò. Within a year their chips had reached Italian supermarket shelves, and the company grew quickly through acquisitions of snack brands such as Dorita and Pandal. Still family run, with Moratti’s children Laura and Oscar now involved, Amica has become a leading Italian chip maker exporting to more than 20 countries.

The Eldorada line was inspired by a trip to a Chicago food fair, where the founders discovered a more handcrafted style of chip and set out to recreate that old-fashioned taste in a thicker, more rustic cut. The potatoes are fried in high oleic sunflower oil, and the company uses spin drying technology to reduce the oil content of the finished chips. This version is seasoned with rosemary, one of the most beloved herbs in Italian cooking, and is gluten free.

Rosemary’s piney, aromatic character comes through right away, followed by a gentle savory saltiness. The thick, golden slices deliver a hearty crunch, and the herbal notes linger on the finish without masking the earthy potato flavor.
