Chio Dip! Mild Salsa

Chio is a prominent European snack brand, particularly well-known for its potato chips and Mexican-style dips like the Mild Salsa seen here. The brand has a rich history dating back to 1962, when it was founded by the von Opel family in Germany. The name 'Chio' is actually an acronym derived from the family members: Carlo, Heinz, and Irmgard von Opel.

Today, Chio is a core brand under the Intersnack Group. While the brand has its roots and a significant production base in Germany, Intersnack operates numerous production facilities across Europe to serve different regional markets. Ownership has transitioned from the original founding family to a large multinational structure that remains headquartered in Germany, solidifying Chio's position as a staple in the European salty snack market.
