Why buy from Villakuyaya?

As an entrepreneur, I followed an inside heartbeat that made me create a dream . . . a vision, that with a lot of effort turned into Villakuyaya.

For me to jump into the market a few years back, there was a lot of history behind the brand, and a lot of sacrifices, fears, and sometimes tears. That history was the one that made the difference then, and today what helps me most is the seal in the memories of our loyal customers.

The path for being a business wasn't and isn’t easy, and to stay on that path every day is still harder. At the end of the day I can tell you, I have a face of mission accomplished, because I always try to make or create or publish something for my small business.

Behind Villakuyaya is an unflagging mind who doesn't stop thinking in what is the next step for growth, an unsparing person who works more hours for keeping engagement with the customers, but also behind Villakuyaya is a wife and mom who has to make a balance between the love of house and the love of business.

When you are shopping Villakuyaya you making a difference that at the end of the day all add ups. You make my day by supporting my effort, my dedication, my time, my small business and my family, but also you are supporting the communities behind me, the farmers and their families back in Ecuador that grow the land and the people in the factory that handcrafted produce the chocolate bars.

This year I want to be grateful for you, my customer friends, who have supported Villakuyaya from the beginning and all along the way, and especially since March and the challenges of this year. With your purchase you help inspire and fuel me to stay on this wonderful path that I have chosen. I can tell you that I felt not alone, and your support was amazing.

Thank you

Thanksgiving is here, lets celebrate !!!

Vino & Chocolate Pairing.jpg

It is going to be an unusual thanksgiving this year.  Most families will not be able to reunite because of the pandemic, and the idea of a virtual holiday is being thought of as a new normal for the celebration to make families feel together when they can’t be.  The important thing is to not let that this pandemic blow out the spirit of the festivity.

 We have to celebrate Thanksgiving, and to give thanks for our life, for our families, and for all the divine favors and goodness that God lets us enjoy.

 The good part of the virtual celebration is that you can include all the persons you are grateful for; all the friends and family that make you feel special.

 So lets think apart from the traditional foods that you can share with your loved ones virtually?  A good fresh idea to try could be a pairing of chocolate and wine, two irresistible choices that you can send to family and friends and make an extra special thanksgiving virtual pairing.

 Our suggestions for a selection for a good pairing would be a Malbec with our Villakuyaya Masala Chai 80%; a Merlot with our Villakuyaya Pure 80%; and a sweet wine like a Port, Syrah or a Moscato, with our Villakuyaya Earl Grey Lavender 80%.

 Lets spread the cheer, and lets be thankful for life, and lets share with the ones that we love.

 Lets start with the celebration by sending a wine and Villakuyaya chocolates for this new normal Thanksgiving and holiday festivities.

Cheers!!!
