Morelia Gourmet Paletas - Franchise
At Morelia Gourmet Paletas, we offer over 20 delicious ice cream flavors made with the finest ingredients. Choose from classic favorites like Oreo Cookies & Cream or Strawberry, or unique creations such as Banana filled with Nutella or Passion Fruit filled with Condensed Milk. Our kosher certified paletas cater to various dietary preferences with dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, and no-sugar-added options. Elevate your treat by dipping your paleta in rich dippings and customizing it with toppings like Oreo Crumbs, almonds, pistachios or Nutella. Each paleta is handcrafted using Italian Gelato or Sorbet recipes and 100% fresh, natural ingredients, ensuring a delightful experience with every bite.
The Name Morelia: We chose the name Morelia, the capital of Michoacán, Mexico, where the first paletas are believed to have originated. As proud Latinos, we aim to spread the rich culture and unique flavors of the Latin world!
Discovering a Passion: Long-time friends with a love for ice cream discovered Mexican-inspired paletas for the first time and fell in love instantly. This sparked our quest to create the best ice cream experience.
The Path to Extraordinary Paletas: We embarked on journeys to Mexico, Italy, Argentina, Peru, and Brazil, exploring diverse flavors and learning the best techniques in gourmet ice cream. We even set up a lab in our home, turning our nights into magical moments of blending unique ingredients and crafting new recipes. Our toughest judges? Our children.
Sharing our Passion one Bite at a Time: Seeing the joy our creations brought to our "judges" inspired us to share our love of paletas with the world.
