About US
Ibérica Spirit is the truest form of Spanish soul food.
Get to know us and how we make our products using only high-quality standards and original Spanish potatoes.
Quality & Transparency
These are the values that guide every step of our production process, ensuring we deliver the quality our customers deserve.
With over 60 years in the potato chip industry, we are one of Europe’s leading producers of Kettle chips. We continue to honour the legacy of our ancestors, who first made potato chips in a pan, much like churros.
Our dedication to innovation and quality is unwavering. Every day, our R&D and quality departments work tirelessly to refine our processes, ensuring that every batch meets the highest standards and delivers the best possible product to our customers.
Selected potatoes
We work with Lady Amarilla and Agria Potatoes, which have the best properties for pan frying. Our main focus are the raw materials and ingredients that will offer the tastiest batches.
Controlled atmosphere
The use of nitrogen while packaging the chips helps maintain their optimal conditions and organoleptic characteristics from the when they are sealed until the day they reach you. This allows the product to have a shelf life of 365 days.
Ethical sourcing
We are committed to our land and farmers. We prioritize fair wages and
long-term partnerships that allow us to foster mutual growth and trust. At Ibérica Spirit
we also ensure sustainable practices as to uphold the highest standards of quality.
Always fresh
Our potatoes come from different fields both in Spain and France based on the time of year and the weather, allowing us to guarantee peak freshness and a consistent
supply throughout the year.
PURE AND SIMPLE
From start to finish, we respect nature. Our process is free from artificial or chemical interventions, preserving the integrity of our ingredients. Our chips are crafted with care by following time-honoured methods.
Mastering every detail
From the moment the potatoes are harvested to when they leave our facilities in your favourite Ibérica Spirit bag, more than 200 people work closely and carefully on all of the processes every day as to achieve excellence.
HOW DO WE MAKE AN IBÉRICA SPIRIT CHIP?
We always select the best batches of potatoes of the “Agria” or “Lady Amarilla” varieties, which are perfect for frying. Once the product has been collected, we store the potatoes in temperature-controlled rooms to maintain their properties, with the ideal humidity and light.
By using top-notch tech resources and trained professionals to peel and cut the potatoes, we are able to produce never-seen-before, unique cuts. During this process, the potatoes go through 3 different quality checks as to remove any potato that does not meet the requirements to be fried.
Just like our grandparents, we have 24 industrial frying pans which are fired up every day. We use an olive and sunflower oil blend that allows the potato to get a precise flavour and prevents it from becoming rancid. Temperature and frying-time control are essential to get the perfect, crispy texture.
Once the chips have been fried, they go through a drying process that retains the right amount of oil. After that, using our high-tech machines, damaged chips that have been slightly burnt or broken are removed from the batch.
Not only do we work with Europe’s best flavourists who create our natural chip flavours, but we also have more than 8 flavouring drums that guarantee uniformity for all the chips in each bag that leaves our warehouses. The drums work at an optimal temperature to get the best texture and flavour.
Our automated machines pack each bag which is then passed on to our team of professionals that carefully place it in its corresponding box, removing those that are damaged or unfit for consumption. The final product then gets one last check for the Quality department to ensure everything has gone correctly.
