We're a team of dedicated snack enthusiasts on a mission to help Australians discover the perfect chip
BestChips.com.au was born from a simple observation: with hundreds of chip varieties lining Australian supermarket shelves, choosing the right snack had become surprisingly overwhelming. From classic crinkle cuts to artisan kettle-cooked varieties, from traditional salt and vinegar to exotic native spice flavours, the options seemed endless. We knew there had to be a better way to help fellow Aussies navigate this delicious dilemma.
What started as casual conversations among friends about our favourite crisps quickly evolved into something more structured. We began documenting our taste tests, comparing textures, analysing flavour profiles, and evaluating value for money. Before long, we had accumulated a wealth of knowledge about the Australian chip market that we felt compelled to share.
Today, BestChips.com.au stands as Australia's dedicated resource for chip lovers. We've personally taste-tested every product we recommend, from the budget-friendly supermarket staples to the premium gourmet offerings. Our reviews consider not just taste, but also crunch consistency, seasoning distribution, bag freshness, and overall snacking satisfaction.
Unlike generic product listing sites, we take a hands-on approach to every recommendation. Each chip variety goes through our rigorous tasting methodology, which we've refined over years of snacking experience. We evaluate products across multiple dimensions:
We believe in complete transparency. When we recommend a product, it's because we genuinely enjoy it and believe you will too. Our affiliate relationships with retailers like Amazon Australia help us maintain this site, but they never influence our opinions. A mediocre chip will always receive an honest assessment, regardless of any commercial considerations.
Beyond product reviews, we're committed to educating our readers about the fascinating world of snack foods. From understanding nutrition labels to learning about different cooking methods, our guides aim to make you a more informed consumer. We believe that knowledge enhances enjoyment, and a little insight into how your favourite chips are made can make them taste even better.
Our team brings together diverse perspectives united by a common passion for quality snacks. Together, we've tasted thousands of chips, debated countless flavour profiles, and developed a shared vocabulary for describing that perfect crunch.
