Terra Red Bliss Made With Olive Oil Potato Chips



Price:  $3.95

Weight:  5oz.

Color / Appearance:  Golden, natural cut potato chips with red flakes sprinkled on the.  I assume the flakes are the remnants of the potato's red skin.

Crunch:  Excellent crunch here.  Very solid, thick cut chip.

Flavor:  Nice fried potato flavor, the fact that they were fried in olive oil is quite evident.  Very lightly salted.

Chip Quality:  Excellent quality of chip here.  Almost all fully round chips in the same shape they were in when they were cut and fried.  No burned chips.

Overall:  All right, when I tasted my first chip I really wasn't fond of the olive oil flavor that I tasted here.  It is quite noticeable and distinct, and if you are used to vegetable oil potato chips it is very different.  Also on my first chip I immediately wanted them to be saltier.  But as I kept crunching away at these chips, the taste really grew on me.  I can see where they were going when they made these chips, and I like it.  Olive oil is a healthier oil than vegetable as far as I know.  And with the great flavor of these chips (once you get used to it).  I would have to say that they are really great.  The only downside that I can see here is the price to weight ratio.  You just don't get a lot of bulk for your money.  But I dont think if you are grabbing a bag of these that that is what you are looking for anyway.
