Gofio is one of the most ancestral foods of the Canary Islands, as its origin goes back hundreds of years. For many generations it was the food of the poor and served as sustenance in times of famine. Today, it continues to be the staple food of many Canary Islanders, although with a better reputation since it was awarded the Denomination of Origin in 2014.

Product Details
Gofio is a toasted and ground cereal flour, and thanks to innovation in recent years, it has undergone different changes in its composition and therefore also in its flavour. In the beginning, the main ingredient for its production was barley. Nowadays, however, new ingredients have been introduced, giving rise to our corn/millo gofio. It is a very energetic food because it has the same nutritional properties as the cereals from which it comes. It is very rich in carbohydrates and fibre, and contains vitamins, as well as iron, calcium, magnesium and sodium. Its quality depends on several factors that will determine the aroma, taste and texture. First, the millet (maize) kernel is selected; once selected, it is cleaned and roasted. The speed at which it is ground is decisive; the slower it is ground, the better the flour will be. This is why gofio that has been made by hand is so highly prized. Moreover, it is a natural product that does not contain preservatives or colouring agents.
