Our Approach
At El Gringo Curioso, we are dedicated to bringing you the vibrant flavors of Latin America. The best way we know how to do this is, whenever possible, to shorten the distance between you — the consumer — and the farmers who grow these amazing herbs and spices. We source directly from small-scale farmers and cooperatives, ensuring that every ingredient is not only fresh but also ethically produced. Each of our products tells a story, and we want to do all we can to let these stories come through. We have spent countless hours finding the best flavors to come out of Latin America, and we are honored to help bring them into your kitchen.
After many years working in the specialty foods industry, we have seen how traditional botanical supply chains just replicate centuries-old patterns of colonialism. We envision a different world where the producers of these foods are not only surviving but thriving, and where trade is an instrument of positive growth for all communities involved.
