Jorge and Tiffany, the #entrepreneurs behind #FlorDeLaJara Olive Oil, say that they’re “not just a married couple—we’re the best team ever.” These SFA members say that the magic of their products is rooted in the combination of their two unique backgrounds. Jorge comes from a Spanish family that’s produced #oliveoil for three generations, and Tiffany’s Jamaican heritage, love for cooking, and passion for healthy eating has shaped Flor de la Jara’s three extra virgin olive oils. As SFA honors #HispanicHeritageMonth, learn more about Jorge and Tiffany’s journey to become specialty food makers: https://hubs.li/Q02S8NRm0

"There is no better time to be orgulloso (proud) for being a Mexican-American food entrepreneur. The Hispanic food industry has seen tremendous growth and is increasingly in demand year over year, well-known products such as tortillas and tequila have shown record numbers of consumption alongside salsa. It's the perfect timing for Hispanic entrepreneurs to package their recipes and take advantage of this growing business trend." - Ivan M. Gutierrez, founder and CEO of Tierra Negra Salsa, speaking about #HispanicHeritageMonth 💚🤍❤️ After just 5 months in business, #TierraNegra exhibited at the 2024 Summer #FancyFoodShow to great success. Their "premium Mexican dark salsa" is now in 30 stores, and Ivan is optimistic about the future.
