Cru Chocolates

Pisqueya

Pisqueya [pees-keh-yah] is a celebration of Latin culture and a contribution to my family legacy. The line of all-natural, high quality food products, is inspired by the gap in Dominican representation, within the global food market. More than that, Pisqueya is a taste of home. Pisqueya is how I wish to inspire others to gather, laugh, break bread and create memories.

The Pinole Project

The Pinole Project makes Pinole Chia Oatmeal by combining high protein & fiber chia seeds, heirloom corn and cinnamon with gluten-free oats for the ultimate breakfast upgrade. The Pinole Project is a Mexican-American Food Company. Their abuela Adela was a mighty woma who would always say, “Pinole will make you strong.” She was inspired by the Tarahumara of Northern Mexico who eat Pinole to fuel long distance runs, and she would add Pinole to many of her recipes, including oatmeal. Pinole is an Aztec Superfood made of high protein and fiber chia seeds and non-gmo heirloom corn. Their Pinole is grown on the independent, sustainable farms of Oaxaca, Mexico.
