Chio Dip-Tip Hot Cheese

Chio Dip-Tip Hot Cheese is a popular savory accompaniment to tortilla chips, known for its spicy flavor profile featuring jalapeños and bell peppers. The Chio brand has a rich heritage, having been established in 1962 by Irmgard von Opel and her sons, Carlo and Heinz, at Hofgut Petersau in Germany; the name 'Chio' is an acronym of their first names (Carlo, Irmgard, Heinz Opel).

Today, the brand is a cornerstone of the Intersnack Group, one of Europe's leading savory snack manufacturers. Intersnack was formed through the consolidation of various family-owned snack businesses, including Chio and funny-frisch. The ultimate ownership of the Intersnack Group rests with the Pfeifer & Langen family, a prominent German industrial dynasty primarily known for their long-standing presence in the sugar and food industries. While Chio products are distributed across more than 15 European countries, the main production and brand management remain centered in Germany.
