A thousand-year-old location
Priego de Córdoba
Behind a recipe there is always a name, a concept, a tradition and a specific environment.
The Patatas San Nicasio factory is located in Priego de Córdoba in Andalucia, centre of the olive-growing region which dates back to the Pre-Roman period.
Priego de Córdoba is part of the Subbetica region of Córdoba. Its protected spaces, baroque monuments, archaeological heritage, handicrafts and customs all form part of a tourist packagethat is unforgettable.
The gastronomy in Priego retains brilliant examples of ancient traditions. The star ingredient is, without doubt, the extra virgin olive oil. Currently, the “Priego de Córdoba” Denomination of Origin has been recognised as the best oil in the world.
From this privileged enclave San Nicasio potato chips have conquered the hearts of consumers in countries of very different tastes such as Japan, Germany, and the US.
