San Nicasio is a Spanish brand of gourmet potato chips , established in 1999. The slow cooked chips have won a number of food industry awards for quality and have received a level of notoriety due to the high price tag of the product.
History
[ edit ]
San Nicasio was established in 1999 in Priego de Córdoba , in the Andalusian mountains of Spain, by Rafael del Rosal Lopez and his wife Carmen Osuna.[1] They are being distributed by Fayrefield Foods in the UK, who are targeting distributors such as Harvey Nichols and Harrods .[2]
Product
[ edit ]
Himalayan "pink" salt
San Nicasio are handmade small-batch potato chips, made with Catalan potatoes , extra virgin olive oil and Himalayan pink salt (a marketing term for rock salt mined in Khewra Salt Mines , Pakistan ).[3] [4] The olive oil used has the『Priego de Córdoba』denomination of origin .[5] As of 2012[update] , they are only available in salted flavour and two sizes, 40 g (1.4 oz ) and 190 g (6.7 oz ).[6]
Cooking
[ edit ]
The chips are slow cooked , unlike most other brand-name chips.[6] [7] [8] According to owner Lopez this is "to prevent the formation of undesirable substances".[6]
Pricing
[ edit ]
The product received significant press coverage on release in the United Kingdom due to the financial market at the time and the £ 4 pricing for the larger packet, almost double the market standard.[2] [3] Grocery magazine The Grocer asked "will British crisp-lovers fork out almost four quid for a new super-premium snack?", although it did not speculate on the answer to this question.[9] The Rich Times stated that analysts "are as yet divided" as to whether or not a product at this price point "makes any sense".[10]
Awards
[ edit ]
The brand has won a number of food industry awards and certifications.
2008 Monde Selection Gold medal[8] [11]
2009 Monde Selection Gold medal[8] [11]
2010 Monde Selection Gold medal[8] [11]
2010 Monde Selection International High Quality Trophy (for 3 consecutive gold medals)[12]
