STORY

The Paleteros apprentices

IMG_0691.jpg

After discovering paletas in Mexico in 2011 during a trip, and having thought about it for a long time, we wanted to develop the concept in Switzerland.

 

To make paletas while respecting Mexican manufacturing secrets, we went directly to Guadalajara.
On site, real paleteros taught us their secrets.

A promising first summer!

  • More than 5,000 paletas produced

  • 5 fixed points of sale

  • Participation in more than 15 events

  • Development of more than 10 recipes

  • Lots of fun and motivation for the future!

    Thank you all!

When my room is no longer enough...

After the success of our 2016 "test" summer, we needed to move up a gear and professionalize the company. So we launched a crowdfunding campaign on our own website and managed to raise over CHF 20,000! This allowed us to set up our own production facility, equip it properly, and create a real business.

Thank you to everyone for your blessing!

The case is launched...

    More than 20,000 paletas produced

  • 22 fixed points of sale

  • Participation in more than 30 events

  • Development of 5 new recipes

  • From accounting...

  • Table football games...

  • Club nights...

  • And even more fun and motivation for the future!

     

Thanks, class!

2023 was...

  • More than 20,000 paletas produced

  • 22 fixed points of sale, more than 550 points of sale throughout Switzerland.

  • Over 2.5 Olympic-sized swimming pools filled with coconut milk. Organic and Fairtrade.

  • Over 50 events. Paléo, Caribana, the Streetfood Festivals tour, Frauenfeld, and many more.

  • Your tremendous support is reflected in the success of our crowdfunding campaign. THANK YOU!

The craziest thing about it all? It's that everything was made 100% by hand and with love, thanks to a crazy team. Led by Alex and Caio, they brilliantly rose to the challenge!
