Fritos The Original BBQ Flavor

Fritos is an iconic brand of corn chips that originated in the United States in the 1930s. The brand was founded by C.E. Doolin, who created the Frito Company after purchasing a recipe for corn chips. In Spain, the brand is famously associated with Matutano, which was established in Barcelona in 1965.

Today, Fritos is a global brand under the ultimate ownership of PepsiCo, following the historic 1965 merger between Frito-Lay and Pepsi-Cola. In the Spanish market, the product is typically manufactured and distributed by PepsiCo Foods Iberia, often carrying the Matutano logo which remains a trusted symbol for snacks across the Iberian Peninsula. The manufacturing for the Spanish market primarily takes place in local facilities such as the plant in Burgos.
