Luc Salsedo, our founder
Luc Salsedo
One day at the end of 2014, Chef Luc Salsedo experimented making chips with some leftover socca the famous galette madefrom chickpea flour – a brilliant idea that would take him far ! It was then that he decided to embark on the adventure of Créations Luc Salsedo® with Socca Chips® being the first innovation, followed by SoccApéro®, marketed in 2019.
L’équipe
Luc Salsedo has shared this culinary adventure with his wife, Christine Salsedo, who has been behind him since the very beginning.
Avant l’aventure Socca Chips® et SoccApéro® ils géraient ensemble le restaurant éponyme à Nice. Christine est en charge de la partie commerciale et financière de la société Nice Gourmet.
By their side, their long-time friend, Fabienne Rigourd, an early fan of Chef Luc Salsedo's creations, is in charge of marketing, communications and digital strategy.
