Canary Islands' Banana Jam Maker Expands Globally

We often think of big brands as the best, associating them with quality and status. But it's easy to overlook amazing local products, which are often more natural, handmade, and sourced nearby than the big names you see in supermarkets.

You don't have to search far for genuine, unique, and delicious flavors. Many are made right here in the Canary Islands.

Mojos Guachinerfe makes banana jam, a product that blends tradition with new ideas, while keeping that authentic Canarian taste.

For over 20 years, since 1996, this company has been making mojos, almogrotes, and jams by hand. They're committed to using local ingredients and methods that respect the product and the environment.

The banana jam is made near Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where a team of about twenty people work carefully and with passion.

From there, the company sends its products to major supermarket chains like Hipercor, Alcampo, Carrefour, Spar, Dialprix, Hipertrébol, and El Supermercado de El Corte Inglés. You can also find them in specialty food shops and local stores. Plus, you can buy directly from their website, so customers can get their products both on and off the islands.

Banana jam isn't the only popular product from Mojos Guachinerfe. They're also known for their traditional mojos, almogrote, and palm sap. These products combine classic Canarian recipes with a modern twist, all while staying true to their local roots.

Their jams come in flavors like fig, guava, sweet potato, or a mix of banana and guava. They're perfect on toast, with cheese, in yogurt, on homemade cakes, or even straight from the spoon!

The company first expanded internationally to the Netherlands and Germany. After attending the Speciality Fine Food Fair, they also started selling in the United Kingdom.

Today, they regularly ship to the UK and Germany, and have also reached markets in France, Iceland, Sweden, Poland, and the USA.
