Estrella Chili Nuts

Estrella is a renowned snack brand deeply rooted in Scandinavian culinary culture. Originally founded in Sweden in 1946, it quickly became a household name for potato chips and nut-based snacks. The Chili Nuts featured in the image represent one of their popular savory offerings, characterized by peanuts with a crunchy, spicy chili coating.

Historically, the brand was established by Folke Andersson and saw various ownership transitions over the decades. In the late 20th century, it was part of major conglomerates like Kraft Foods. However, the brand is currently under the umbrella of Intersnack Group, a major European snack manufacturer based in Germany. While the brand maintains a strong Swedish identity and a heritage factory in Angered, its production and distribution are integrated into Intersnack's broader Northern European operations.
