bitterbal snack innovation

Chef Thor's ball collection
From golden-brown to white, spinach-gorgonzola, mango-mirin and thai coconut bitterballs

From the original creator of Amsterdam’s Supperclub (the real one, not the other one), Chef Thor is now ready to debut his latest collection of bitterballs. The bitterbal is a ‘traditional’ Dutch drinking snack, a round, deep-fried croquette filled with molten lava. The national joke is that each time you eat a portion of bitterballs you will burn and blister your tongue. In terms of national jokes I do prefer masochistic snacks to ignorant politicians with absurd notions about national identity, although lately we seem to be multi-tasking pretty well.

Chef Thor’s ‘love bites’ come in a collection of three different flavour combinations; spinach-gorgonzola, sweet teriyaki mango, and thai coconut curry with curry with peas. Voss has spent the past year developing the recipe in conjunction with Dutch bitterbal snack company, van Dobbe.
