Designed around the way people actually scoop salsa, guacamole, queso and dips.
Traditional round bowls were designed to hold food — not around the motion of scooping it.
Rounded edges can make chips awkward to scoop against, leaving drips around the bowl and on the table.
The Palada's raised edge creates a natural surface for guiding the chip through the dip, gathering the scoop and lifting it away with greater control.
One motion, the way you already do it — with an edge that finally cooperates.
Guide your chip through salsa, guac, queso or your favourite dip.
Use The Palada's raised edge to gather the dip.
Bring the chip up naturally with greater control and less mess.
Most people buy two — one for salsa, one for guac.

It started with salsa. It ended up on the table for everything else too.
The Palada's distinctive profile gives the chip something a traditional round bowl doesn't: a surface designed specifically for gathering and lifting a scoop.
Palada is a Spanish word meaning a shovelful or spadeful — the amount lifted in one scoop.
That idea captures exactly what the bowl was designed to do: help your chip gather and lift a satisfying scoop.
I designed The Palada years ago as a simple solution to make chips and dip easier and less messy.
We started using it at parties, and people always noticed it.
The idea sat with me for years until my son, who is currently going through business school, encouraged me to take it further.
That push eventually led us to manufacture The Palada and bring the product to market.
Its raised edge creates a natural scooping surface designed around the motion of guiding and lifting a chip through dip.
