OUR STORY
Tamales are more than a dish they’re a tradition that has nourished families, celebrated milestones, and connected communities for thousands of years. Their story begins in ancient Mesoamerica, where civilizations like the Aztecs, Mayans, and Olmecs first crafted tamales as a portable, nourishing food for warriors, travelers, and farmers.
Over centuries, tamales have spread across the Americas and beyond, adapting to local tastes and traditions. From savory red chile pork in Mexico, to sweet pineapple tamales, to regional variations in Central and South America, each tamal tells the story of its people.
Why Tamales Matter:
More than just food, tamales represent:
Family: Making tamales is often a communal effort, with generations cooking together.
Celebration: A staple during Christmas, Día de los Muertos, and community gatherings.
Heritage: A connection to indigenous roots and cultural pride.

About Tamales
Tamales are one of the oldest and most beloved dishes in Latin American cuisine. With origins dating back thousands of years to ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, tamales are a perfect blend of history, flavour, and tradition.
At their core, tamales are made from masa a dough crafted from corn, one of the most sacred and essential crops of the region. The masa is filled with a variety of delicious ingredients, then carefully wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves before being steamed to perfection.
