Catalan potatoes and pink Himalayan sea salt? Meet San Nicasio Spanish crisps!


Fayrefield Foods are launching a new super Spanish crisp into the UK - San Nicasio Patatas Fritas.

Hand made using extra virgin olive oil, Catalan potatoes and Himalayan pink sea salt, they are produced in the Córdoba mountain range in Andalucia, the centre of the olive growing region in Spain.

The distinctive pink bags are used in top Spanish delicatessens, hotels and restaurants where they are justifiably famed for their high quality ingredients, unique taste and texture.

Created by four times gold medal winning Rafael del Rosal, the crisps are slow cooked and the extra virgin oil they use is from the first press of olives grown at nearby groves.

This extra virgin olive oil has “Priego de Cordoba” denomination of origin and is recognised as being amongst the best olive oils in the world.

San Nicasio also contains Himalayan pink salt which is rich in minerals and trace elements, its pink colour reflecting its high iron content. (EDITOR: It is sea salt from an sea from pre-historic times)

"San Nicasio have won four Gold awards from the Brussels World Selection of Quality in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and are a truly artisan product", explains Fayrefield Foods’ Mike Coleman.

“San Nicasio is a new concept in potato crisps. It is an authentic delicacy for cosmopolitan consumers who appreciate great taste, natural ingredients, provenance and traditional production methods. It is a gourmet product that uses super premium ingredients and we think will be coveted by the very best delicatessens, hotels and restaurants. San Nicasio is a truly unique product that will enhance social eating and drinking occasions and we can’t wait for UK consumers to get the chance to try them.”

San Nicasio will be available at RSP £3.49 to £3.99 for 190g.
