Talking about the future, Landeros explains that they are about to launch some products in Paris and that they are looking to go international. Sounds of delight echoed through the group and Landeros smiled with the satisfaction of a man who prides himself on innovation. I took a bite and the sweet, sharp flavors of the guava roll combined with the creamy dulce de leche to create the most exquisite combination. The different tangs, sweet, spicy and sour played around on my taste buds as I listened to Landeros speak with so much passion for his work. There was everything from a soft candied guava covered in chile, another sweeter version covered in sugar, alegrías made with puffed amaranth combined with guava, guava rolls mingled with coconut and cranberry, guava cookies, a whole variety of different flavors and textures all made from one fruit. Having sipped a little wine, it was now time to try a few of the edible treats we were hearing so much about. Called Los Vinos de Mateo (Mateo’s wines) the product is a sweet syrupy drink that tastes not unlike guava juice and comes complete with a label drawn by Landeros’ seven-year-old grandson of the same name. If this doesn’t show that this is truly a business that is passing down through the generations, then perhaps the guava wines will. Violeta is the line of dehydrated products, Noemi is a line of products with chocolate, Luci is the home of the candied guava jelly and jellos and MariCri is a line of products for children. This family business is divided into different brands that are all named after Landeros’ daughters.
