Torres Crisps — Spanish Gourmet Crisps Since 1969

Torres — or Patatas Torres, if you want the full name — is a Barcelona-based family business that has been making premium crisps since 1969. What started as a churro shop in Premià de Mar has grown into Spain's most respected gourmet crisp brand, exported to over 50 countries and recognised by food lovers who refuse to settle for standard supermarket packets. All Natty stocks Torres in Bristol because they represent exactly what we look for: producers who take something familiar and elevate it through genuine quality and care.

Why Torres Crisps Are Different

The difference is the oil. While most crisp brands fry in sunflower or vegetable oil, Torres use extra virgin olive oil — a balanced blend of three olive varieties, hand-harvested from groves in Cordoba's mountain ranges, with naturally low acidity. It changes everything. The texture is lighter, the crunch is cleaner, and there is a subtle richness that cheap oils cannot replicate. Once you taste the difference, going back to standard crisps feels like a downgrade.

Then there are the potatoes themselves. Torres selects only the highest-calibre potatoes grown on the Iberian Peninsula, sourced from growers they have worked with for over 35 years. That consistency of supply means consistency of product — every bag delivers the same quality whether you are buying your first or your fiftieth.

The Range at Natty

Torres' Selecta range pays tribute to the bold flavours of Spanish haute cuisine. At All Natty, we stock the flavours that best complement our wine, cocktail, and snack selection. Pickle Crisps deliver a sharp, tangy dill punch that pairs brilliantly with white wine and sparkling. Hot Smoked Paprika Crisps use De la Vera DOP paprika — slow-smoked over oak fires in Extremadura — for deep, warming heat that works alongside red wine and cocktails.

Three Generations of Crisp Making

The Torres story started with Manuel Torres and his wife opening a churro shop. Their sons, Manolo and Juan, expanded production while keeping the original shop open — a nice detail that tells you something about the family's relationship with their roots. The business has since been taken over by the García-Llagostera family, who brought the brand to the international market while maintaining the artisanal quality and tradition that built it. Three generations, one consistent standard: make the best crisps you can, using the best ingredients available.

Who Torres Crisps Are For

Anyone who has ever looked at a sharing board and wished the crisps were as good as the cheese and charcuterie. Torres crisps belong on proper snack spreads — pair them with Olives Et Al olives and nuts, a decent cheese, and a bottle from our wine range and you have got tapas night sorted without leaving the house.

They are also for the person who eats crisps alone at 10pm and wants that experience to feel slightly more considered. No judgement — we are those people too. Browse more from our deli selection.

What makes Torres Crisps different from normal crisps?
