Soacha's Sweet Secret: The Centuries-Old History of the Garulla Pastry

Soacha's Sweet Legacy: The Centuries-Old Story of the Garulla Pastry Soacha, Colombia, is known for more than just its bustling streets. Hidden within its vibrant culture is a culinary treasure: the garulla, a traditional pastry with a history spanning generations. This small, seemingly unassuming treat holds within it a rich tapestry of family traditions and artisanal craftsmanship. One of the oldest purveyors of this sweet delight is Las Negritas, a bakery that has been delighting customers for 150 years. Doña Nora, the current owner, represents the fifth generation of her family to carry on the tradition. "My family started selling garullas in the main park when they were just small stalls," she recalls with a smile. Their enduring success is a testament to their dedication to quality and their commitment to preserving their family's legacy. Another prominent garulla maker is Don Pacho, whose recipe boasts an even more impressive history of roughly 350 years. They represent the fourth generation of their family to keep this tradition alive. Their artisanal approach and commitment to the original recipe have earned them a well-deserved reputation for excellence. The garulla's unique flavor and texture have made it a beloved local treat, and its cultural significance has led to its recognition as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Cundinamarca. This recognition underscores the importance of preserving traditional foods and the stories they tell. The video also highlights other local businesses that contribute to Soacha's garulla scene, each with its own unique take on this iconic pastry. The Garulla Fest, an upcoming event, promises to further celebrate this beloved treat and its rich history.
