Quick answer
Graza's Sizzle extra virgin olive oil makes a bold, peppery dip for chips, while a lighter Frizzle or Drizzle works better for delicate crackers.
Why oil choice matters for chips and crackers
Chips and crackers have different textures and salt levels, so the oil you pair them with can either complement or overpower the snack. A robust oil stands up to crunchy, salty chips, while a milder oil lets the flavor of a buttery cracker shine through.
The role of salt and crunch
Extra-crispy chips like Graza's The Chips are already salted with flaky Añana salt, so you want an oil that adds a finishing kick without overwhelming the palate. For unsalted or lightly salted crackers, a more neutral oil allows added toppings or spreads to take center stage.
Frequently asked questions
Which Graza oil is best for dipping chips?
Sizzle is the top choice because its bold, peppery finish matches the crunch and salt of chips like The Chips. Drizzle also works if you prefer a fruitier, less intense dip.
What oil should I use with flavored crackers?
For crackers with lemon and chive (like The Crackers), choose a milder oil such as Frizzle or Drizzle. These won't compete with the cracker's own seasoning.
Can I use the same oil for both chips and crackers on a snack board?
Yes, Drizzle is the most versatile option. It has enough character to complement chips but is gentle enough not to overpower crackers. Serve it in a small dish for dipping or drizzling. Set out two oils if your board includes both heavily salted chips and delicate flavored crackers.
Product facts
-
“The Chips”: Slow-fried in Sizzle extra virgin olive oil for maximum crunch and flavor, made with Galician potatoes and flaky salt from Añana salt flats. These chips already carry a robust olive oil flavor, so pairing them with the same Sizzle oil reinforces the taste, while a different oil like Frizzle adds variety.

“The Crackers”: A blend of lemon, olive oil, and chive, crafted in partnership with Firehook, sold in a 2-box pack. The bright, savory flavor of these crackers pairs best with a lighter olive oil that won't mask the lemon and chive notes.
