Details
Soft Mexican Mini Clay Pot Chips are delicate, crunchy fragments made from authentic handcrafted Terrón Terracotta Mexicana. Once part of miniature clay pots, these thin, rustic chips deliver a uniquely soft yet crispy bite, making them ideal for those who enjoy vibrant flavour with gentle textural complexity. Light and fragile in structure, each piece snaps cleanly before breaking down into fine crumbs and sandy, crystal-like specks that melt away smoothly in the mouth.
The flavour strikes a beautiful balance between deeply earthy clay and a mild metallic edge, carried by the naturally warm, vibrant orange character of Mexican terracotta. Firm at first touch but forgiving on the bite, these chips offer a clean, non-sticky experience that feels both rustic and refined—perfect for daily snacking, stash variety, or first-time explorers of edible terracotta.

Storage Tips
To keep your clays and treats fresh, crunchy, and full of flavour, always store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture, humidity, and strong odours. Exposure to air or dampness can alter both texture and taste.
We highly recommend using our stash boxes, available on the website — designed specifically to protect and organise your clay collection with ease.

All clay treats and terracotta pot products are handmade and naturally fragile, making them susceptible to breakage during delivery.
While we take great care in packing each item securely, minor cracks, chips, or crumbled pieces may occur. This is a natural part of working with handcrafted clays and does not affect taste or enjoyment.
