Petaluma · Since Day One

Every pop of color
is a memory waiting to happen.

We stir real fruit into ice by hand, the way abuela taught us — no shortcuts, no artificial anything. Just cold, bright, unforgettable paletas and nieve, made fresh every morning at our Petaluma kitchen.

Our story

We don't make paletas.
We preserve moments.

Paletería Artesanal — Paletas, Nieves y Mucho Más — was born from a simple conviction: frozen treats should taste like the fruit they come from. Not a hint. Not a whisper. The real thing.

Every batch starts at dawn in our Petaluma kitchen. We source seasonal fruit from local farms, blend it by hand, and freeze it slowly so the texture stays silky and the flavor stays honest. No artificial colors. No preservatives. Just patience.

Whether you're after a tangy tamarindo pop, a creamy mango nieve, or something we've invented this week — you'll taste the difference that real ingredients and real time make.

Made with love in Petaluma

How it comes to you

Four steps. No shortcuts. That's the whole recipe.

01

Source

We visit local farms each week and pick fruit at peak ripeness. If the harvest is light, we wait. We don't substitute.

02

Blend

Every batch is weighed, blended, and tasted by hand. Adjustments are made until the flavor feels right — and "right" means vivid.

03

Freeze

Slow freezing preserves texture. Paletas set overnight; nieve is churned gently so it stays silky, never icy.

04

Serve

Wrapped in paper, handed to you warm-smile included. That's the part we never skip.
