Amongst the most outstanding new developments, the potatoes that are ‘specially for air fryers’ should be emphasised. A carefully selected 1 kg bag of fresh potatoes, with the correct variety and perfect culinary behaviour. They are designed to guarantee a perfect result, following some simple steps that are included on the package itself, as well as a video available through a QR code.
In addition, the company is introducing a new proposal under the brand ‘El Picoteo’, which combines potatoes with sauces developed alongside Helios. This product does not only stand out due to its flavour, but also because it offers an option for healthy, tasty snacks, dressed according to consumers’ current tastes.

Patatas Meléndez’s commitment to the source of its products has been reflected in its ‘Meléndez X Origen’ project, where the company works alongside over 50 farmers from the Iberian Mainland and France. This collaboration, which also includes experts in areas of specialisation in seeds, mechanisation, digitalisation, fertilisation and irrigation, seeks to move forward towards the agriculture of the future, optimising resources and guaranteeing the best quality potatoes at a reasonable price.
