Good to know: Founded in 1932 by Salvador Bonilla in Ferrol, Galicia, Bonilla a la Vista began as a modest mobile market stall and family-run churro shop before evolving into an internationally recognized gourmet brand. Operating today out of a production facility in Arteixo, A Coruña, the company has maintained its global reputation by adhering strictly to traditional, minimalist production methods. The chips are crafted using only three natural ingredients: thinly sliced Agria potatoes, selected for an optimal starch-to-sugar balance that ensures uniform crispness without burning, which are fried in pure, continuously filtered Spanish olive oil and finished with a light dusting of natural sea salt, entirely free of artificial additives or preservatives.

Once a regional staple in northwestern Spain, the brand achieved global cult status following high-profile media exposure, most notably a prominent appearance in Bong Joon-ho’s 2019 Academy Award-winning film Parasite, which triggered a massive surge in international demand, particularly across Asian markets like South Korea. Further solidified by mainstream endorsements, including its inclusion in Oprah's Favorite Things and features in The New York Times, Bonilla a la Vista has successfully transitioned from a local Spanish tradition into a staple of premium grocery stores and gourmet shops worldwide.
