Pata Paquita snacks

Paquita is a popular line of corn-based snacks produced by the Italian company PATA S.p.A. These snacks, often marketed as 'riccioli di mais' (corn curls) or crunchy triangles, are recognizable by their vintage-style packaging featuring a cowgirl character and the 'Original Taste' branding.

Founded and based in Italy, PATA manages the entire production cycle from its headquarters in Castiglione delle Stiviere. The brand emphasizes the use of sunflower oil and Italian corn, positioning itself as a leader in the Italian savory snack market. The brand remains family-owned by the original founder's company, maintaining a focus on regional production and traditional quality within the European snack industry.
