The” local made” movement has never been more popular in the world and this is catching on in Mexico. Of course everything used to be made locally but somehow people thought that it was better to make everything in a factory and ship things all over the world. Here are some products made in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Products made in Quintana Roo
The Yucatan Peninsula has an amazing food and craft culture that is still alive and with a little fostering, the time honored traditions and flavors will not be lost. There are many artisans making really unique products here in our state of Quintana Roo and the adjoining states. A new label for products made in this state “Hecho in Quintana Roo” is now being used to identify products. There was recently an exposition of products from the state and a few products from the region. It is really great to see the unique taste and things made locally.
We are bringing you photos and products made in Quintana Roo and the area. We are including contact and website information when possible, so you can enjoy some of these products. When you get to know more about the merchants and makers you learn the unique history and craftsmanship. It certainly will make things taste even better and give you an appreciation of where things come from and the care from how it was made.
MAYAN OOK
Mayan Ook is a company that designs woven products and works with local communities where weaving has been done for centuries. Not only do you get well made products but this affords local weavers to stay at home with children and work. You can see some of the women in the photo above. Some of the products include woven ankle bracelets with toe strap, baskets and purses. Contact: [email protected] and they are on Facebook: MAYAN OOK
Dona Pura salsas and jams made in Cancun
If there is one first prize award for taste then Dona Pura would win! Dona Pura is a jam and salsa company based in Cancun. They put a spin on flavors and have good combinations. Their chimichurri is very fresh tasting and even though there are a lot of Argentinians here in Playa who have restaurants with chimichurri sauce, Dona Pura’s is one to be tried! Our favorite product of theirs is the Chizamora jam. It is a taste you often do not get in Mexico. It has blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and a splash of chile chipotle. Wow! so good!
Two place you can buy their products in Playa Del Carmen is La Europea liquor store and Bio Organicos Store on 26th Street. Contact: www.salsasgourmet.com Facebook: facebook.com/salsasdp
