Twistees

Twistees is Malta’s iconic, branded snack, which was established by Ray Calleja over 50 years ago.

Twistees first production was back in 1969 by Mr. Ray Calleja and ever since it has become part of the Maltese culture for its uniqueness. Twistees was one of the first snacks to be baked and not fried and with no artificial ingredients or colourings. This made Twistees as well highly recommended by nutritionists in Malta.

Founded in 1969 by Mr. Ray Calleja, the company began its journey in Malta producing the original rice-based snack, Twistees. When Steve Calleja, the present Managing Director, took over the business from the late Ray Calleja, he continued to build on this strong foundation by expanding operations and introducing the Tastees brand for export markets.

Through continuous investment in skilled personnel and the latest manufacturing technology, the company consistently achieves the highest standards in snack production for both local and international markets. This commitment ensures full customer support and satisfaction at every level.

Over the years, the product range has grown well beyond the original Tastees, evolving into a diverse and exciting selection of flavours designed to appeal to every taste. Ongoing innovation keeps the brand fresh and relevant, attracting both loyal customers and new generations of snack lovers.

After many years of successfully exporting the Tastees brand, the company further expanded its portfolio by developing new brands such as Sizzzlers, Topsy, and Maralicious—all of which have proven to be highly successful in their respective markets.
