Who could have imagined that an original culinary invention could take us so far, so quickly? Since the Socca Chips® adventure began, we have been drawn into an entrepreneurial, but above all human, adventure of incredible richness! Emotions, challenges, encounters…

Everything that makes life, like our chips, so crunchy!

BUT LET'S START AT THE BEGINNING
We have to go back to 2014, to the time when chef Luc Salsedo, owner of a restaurant in Nice, improvised small chips with what was left of socca, the famous pancake made from chickpea flour. Because for him, nothing is lost, everything is transformed! The feedback from the first customers, who appreciated the originality of the product, clearly proved him right. He will therefore work, refine, and test his recipe for many months. After numerous tests, the right formula was finally found in 2014. That's when the product was marketed under the Socca Chips® brand. The crisp with an authentic socca flavor, original, different, made from 100% natural ingredients. Success is immediate. Luc Salsedo knew that this product, unique in the French aperitif landscape, had its place. Now distributed in more than 1,000 points of sale, SoccaChips® allows you to rediscover the Mediterranean taste of socca, this superb specialty from the Riviera, even from Nice! This enthusiasm will even give the chef new ideas. In 2019, he launched a new product, SoccApéro®, to allow everyone to make socca at home!

IN 2024 IT WILL BE 10 YEARS
THE ADVENTURE BEGIN!
Initially a family business, it now employs dozens of people and benefits from a specifically dedicated production laboratory, a few km from Nice. Above all, it took us on a very rich human adventure with our consumers. Exchange and sharing are the priorities of Luc Salsedo and his teams. We want to build this story together…
