Paula Confectioners

Producing artisanal filo pastries, sponge cakes, rosquetes and drunk cakes since 1889.

Pastelería Paula, a canarian bakery, has rescued old recipes, created in Tenerife’s kitchens and convents stoves over a century, which have been orally transmitted in their family from generation to generation.

Their committment is to keep the essence of those ancestral recipes, applying at the same time the most innovative techniques to improve the quality of the original cake recipes.

They follow a rigourous handmade process which begins with the careful selection of the ingredients they use, like flour, eggs, butter, or guava. Afterwards, expert hands knead the dough in the bakery to continue the careful cooking and refined packaging.
And so, without the use of any additives or preservatives at all, they obtain our cakes. A traditional and natural product with a unique texture, colour and flavor.

In 2004 the eminent newspaper “Diario de Avisos” gave its gastronomy prize for best pastry to “Paula Confectioners”.

The Association of bonita-potato growers and traditional farming of Icod el Alto, LA PAPA BONITA

This association of farmers from Los Realejos has been working for years to recuperate the old potato seeds of the Canary Islands.

The bonita-potato, also known as the old potato of the Canary Islands, was conserved over generations by farming families in Icod el Alto who planted them for their own consumption. The association La Papa Bonita has its origin in a group of farmers’ vision of the future whose motto is: “The bonita potato is not only a product, it is also culture”. The association’s goals are conservation and recuperation of bonita potato and traditional produce farming, production development and improvement, conservation of the environment, rural development and protection of the Canarian agricultural sector.

These farmers produce, apart from bonita potatos, other traditional products, such as wheat, corn, white lupin beans and white beans. They also promote farming among the young people of the area and organise species identification seminars and commented tastings of bonita potatos.
