Habas Fritas Salted Broad Beans, United Kingdom
Olives Et Al Habas Fritas — Salted Broad Beans
Olives Et Al Habas Fritas are fried, roasted broad beans tossed with a little salt — and they taste absolutely nothing like the soggy broad beans you remember from school dinners. Crunchy, salty and dangerously moreish, these are the bar snack you didn't know you needed. Perfect alongside a cold beer or a glass of something from our wine range.
The crunchiest snack in the shop
These broad beans are fried until golden, then roasted and lightly salted. The result is a snack with proper crunch — more satisfying than crisps, more interesting than peanuts, and the kind of thing you'll keep reaching for until the bowl is empty. They're simple, unfussy and exactly right. If you've had habas fritas in a tapas bar in Spain, you'll recognise them immediately.
Brilliant with drinks
Habas fritas were born to sit next to a drink. The salty crunch pairs naturally with beer, but they're just as good alongside a glass of wine — particularly something crisp and white from our white wine collection. Set out a bowl of these alongside some Nocellara olives and a few Chilli Puffs and you've got an effortless spread that looks like you tried.
Vegan, simple and no rubbish
Broad beans, oil, salt. That's it. No coatings, no artificial flavours, no mysterious additions. Naturally vegan and gluten-free, these are snacking stripped back to the good stuff.
About Olives Et Al
Olives Et Al was founded in 1993 by Giles and Annie Henschel after a year-long motorcycle trip through the Mediterranean, Middle East and North Africa. They came back with recipes, a love of simple food done brilliantly, and a plan to bring proper Mediterranean snacking to the UK. Over 30 years later, the Dorset-based company produces an award-winning range of olives, nuts, snacks, dressings and condiments — all made with genuine ingredients and no shortcuts.
We stock Olives Et Al because everything they make is the kind of thing you want on your kitchen counter — great-tasting, good-looking, and from people who properly care about food. Browse the full Olives Et Al range at Natty.
Also from Olives Et Al: Chilli Puffs, Nocellara Olives, Sesame Peanuts, Hot Honey Mixed Nuts and Smoky Chilli Mixed Nuts.
Who are habas fritas for?
Anyone who snacks. Anyone who hosts. Anyone who wants something on the table when friends come round that isn't just a bag of Doritos torn open. They're also a smart swap if you're trying to eat slightly better without sacrificing the stuff you actually enjoy — broad beans are packed with protein and fibre, and these taste like a proper treat rather than a compromise.

Frequently asked questions
What do Olives Et Al Habas Fritas taste like?
Crunchy, salty and slightly nutty — like a cross between roasted peanuts and thick-cut crisps. They've got a satisfying bite and a toasted flavour from the frying and roasting process. Simple, savoury and very moreish.
What should you eat habas fritas with?
Beer is the classic pairing — the salty crunch is perfect alongside a cold lager or craft beer. They're also great with wine (especially whites and rosés), on an antipasti board, or just in a bowl on the table when people come round. In Spain they're a staple bar snack, and there's good reason for that.
