Sørlandschips Verdens Tynneste Kvernet Havsalt

Sørlandschips is a premier Norwegian snack brand that revolutionized the local market by introducing kettle-style potato chips in the early 1990s. The brand was founded in Kristiansand after one of the founders, Leif Arne Nilsen, was inspired by thick-cut, unpeeled potato chips brought back from Canada. This specific product, 'Verdens Tynneste' (World's Thinnest), represents a modern innovation for the brand, featuring ultra-thin slices (1.22 mm) seasoned with ground sea salt.

The brand prides itself on its authentic southern Norwegian roots, using locally sourced potatoes from approximately 50 nearby farms. The chips are slowly fried in small batches to maintain their signature crunch and flavor. Today, Sørlandschips is a major player in the Norwegian snack industry and is owned by Scandza AS, an Oslo-based consumer goods company that manages a portfolio of iconic Scandinavian food and beverage brands.
