We carefully select the potatoes, wash, peel and cut them into thin slices before frying them. Then, we add the right seasoning and pack them in a protective atmosphere to preserve their freshness and flavor. To see our production process in detail, you can visit the production section.

Our potatoes come from selected crops in different countries of the European Union.

The variety of potato we use is the Yellow Lady, a yellow-fleshed potato that is highly appreciated for its high dry matter content, which makes it an ideal choice for frying. It stands out for its crunchy texture and natural flavor, which enhances each of our flavors.

Most of our products are fried in premium sunflower oil. However, some specific references are made exclusively with 100% extra virgin olive oil or 100% avocado oil.

None of our products contain hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, which guarantees a higher nutritional quality.

During the frying process, the oil is subjected to three daily checks to measure the oxidation parameters. This rigorous monitoring allows us to always keep it within the most demanding quality standards.

We do not add artificial additives or preservatives. Conservation is achieved thanks to packaging in a protective atmosphere, which keeps its qualities intact.

We implement rigorous quality controls at every stage of the process, from the selection of raw materials to the final packaging.

Our suppliers are a fundamental pillar and play a key role in our value chain. They have been carefully chosen to ensure the use of the highest quality ingredients and raw materials.
