Diana Chavarro and Jason Sandell started Las Paletas<\/a> over a dinner party nine years ago.

Upon deciding what to make for dessert, Diana created a range of three natural lollies; these were served after dinner and the response from their friends was, “Hey, you guys need to sell this!”

And so the duo did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They started at a small market in central Cape Town and started selling from a plastic show box with dry ice in it and a cooler box next to them to keep the lollies frozen.

Shortly afterwards, they were approached by a large retailer as they were looking for someone to make lollies and natural ice cream for them and so the journey of Las Paletas Ice Cream began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diane and Jason started a little factory, and within two years, outgrew the space they occupied. They now have a purpose built factory in Killarney Gardens, Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you enjoy most about what you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interacting with new customers and seeing the smiles on repeat customers faces when they are showing friends what we do here at Las Paletas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the ethos behind Las Paletas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handmade with love from Earth. We will always manufacture ice cream that contains 100% natural ingredients \u2013 this is what sets us apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you draw inspiration for your flavours?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have looked at our partners’ heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diana hails from Colombia in South America and have drawn inspiration from her upbringing.

Jason looked at what he loved as a kid and remembered his peanut butter-and-jam sandwiches and we even created these for a short while when we started Las Paletas.

We look at what is in season and work or manufacture around what is fresh and locally available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you could serve any flavour of ice cream to any 3 people, what would it be, why that flavour and to whom?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valencia Orange to the kid
Mom will have the lemon meringue
Dad will have the Grande Chocolate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company also caters for corporate events, weddings and birthday parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
