These wavy old-style potato chips come from the Canaries, an archipelago in the southernmost region of Spain, closer to Africa than to continental Europe.
Back in the XV century, the Canary Islands became a stopping platform for European conquerors and traders on their way to the New World. The privileged location of the Canaries brought prosperity to some social sectors of the islands and was the introductory point of potatoes in Europe. The Canarians are probably then the European citizens with more experience handling with potatoes... but how does all this translate into chips?
The Docian ondulated chips are big, peeled and baked in sunflower oil, resulting in a very structured taste, with a first precise crunch and a soft oil scent at the end. Although not specified, it would make sense that these chips, originating from an island, are seasoned with marine salt.
