Our Mission
At Mapu Foods, our mission is simple: to show that convenience and good food can meet in the same place—and Mapu is that meeting point. We work with whole ingredients and process everything in our own facilities, allowing us to stay hands-on and intentional at every step. By choosing independent sourcing and small-scale partners over national distributors, we preserve quality, flavor, and integrity—bringing thoughtfully made South American food to the table in a way that fits modern life.
Our providers
Quality starts with who you work with, and we’re proud to partner with Allen Brothers, BriarPatch Food Co‑op, and Rumiano Cheese Company—all independent, small-scale businesses that share our commitment to doing things right. These partners provide top-quality, organic, and grass-fed products, raised and produced with care, transparency, and respect for the land.

“Talked about them all afternoon”
Had a caprese empanada at the Victorian fair. My girlfriend had the mushroom with chimchurri. They were spectacular. We literally talked about them all afternoon. The dough! And a perfect balance with the filling. Warm and gooey. I got home that night and researched to find them again.
