It all started when long time friends, passionate about ice cream, decided to embark on a mission to create the best ice cream experience.



They decided to make their own paletas that would be extraordinary from the first bite to the last one in different flavors. 


The challenge took them on several trips to Argentina, Peru and Brazil looking for the best training available and they even set up a lab inside one of their apartments. Their journey eventually took them to Miami in order to open MORELIA their first paleta shop.
