Day 11 of the Eater Advent Calendar reveals a Spanish potato chip that’ll up your aperitivo game
If the holidays are good for one thing, it’s beautiful snacks — think, popcorn, peanut brittle, chips — packaged in equally beautiful tins. Bonilla a la Vista is a Spanish brand that specializes in making crispy, delicious aperitivo chips from Galician potatoes — so, unsurprisingly, the real star of the show here is the brand’s use of extra virgin Spanish olive oil, giving the chips a slightly rich and even more savory, silky flavor profile than your average chip. They also happen to come beautifully packaged in this literal bucket, which is just waiting to be transformed into a utensil holder or summertime vase once empty. As a perpetually lazy and last-minute holiday shopper, I also appreciate the fact that the graphic tin functions as its own wrapping paper. Just slap a red bow on top, and you’re done.
No peeking! But check out what the Eater Advent Calendar has already revealed. And check back each day for a new clutch condiment, gadget, or nibble that, yes, makes an amazing gift — but these surprises are just for you.
