Discovering sweet traditions from around the world is one of life’s most delightful adventures—and today, we’re taking you to Mexico to explore one of its most iconic frozen treats: the paleta. 🍧🇲🇽
Legend has it that the origins of paletas go all the way back to ancient times. In China and other early civilizations, it’s said that people harvested ice from mountaintops for emperors and royalty—mixing it with exotic fruits to create the earliest versions of what we now know as ice cream.
According to Mexican oral tradition, a similar story unfolded in the heart of Mexico, where chefs for ancient rulers would hike to the Popocatépetl volcano to collect natural ice. They combined it with native fruits, giving birth to the first paleta-like dessert—recipes that, legend says, were passed down through generations.
Beyond the folklore, the modern history of paletas begins in the early 1800s, when ice became more accessible to the public. But it was in the 1940s that the paleta truly found its home—in the small town of Tocumbo, Michoacán, where an ice cream shop called La Michoacana began offering fruit-filled pops as part of their menu.
From there, a movement began. Families passionate about frozen desserts started crafting paletas by hand and opening “paleterías” across Mexico. Their devotion and creativity helped spread the joy of paletas nationwide—and eventually, across the globe.
Today, paletas are more than just a frozen treat. They’re a cultural icon—a celebration of heritage, flavor, and the joy of sharing something handmade with love.
From neighborhood streets to summer festivals, the paletero has always been more than just a vendor—it’s a symbol of tradition, joy, and community. Rooted in Mexican heritage and embraced across the U.S., the paletero represents hard work, creativity, and cultural pride.
And this isn’t just a trend—it’s a legacy.
The spirit of the paletero lives on—and will continue for generations. 🍧🇲🇽🇺🇸
Paleteros are traditional artisans who bring frozen joy to their communities, whether through a colorful pushcart or a local paletería. In Spanish, paletero means “paleta vendor,” and these makers offer everything from creamy classics to fruit-packed pops—always handcrafted, always from the heart.
We proudly carry the legacy of the paletero while introducing new-school flavors with old-school soul. From classic fruit paletas to innovative fusions like our 2-ingredient creations—sweetened only with whole fruit and dates—we’re making dessert something you can feel good about.
