Latin Flavors

Latin Flavors is a Hispanic manufacturer of frozen foods sold throughout the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, with headquarters in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida. The primary product lines are pastries and breads formulated from Cuban, Puerto Rican, Caribbean and South American flavors and recipes.

Latin Flavors began in Cuba in 1921 when Valentin Garcia, of Spanish descent, and his brothers started their first bakery. They grew steadily and, in 1956, inaugurated a new facility and renamed the bakery La Gran Via in Havana, Cuba. The bakery continued to grow very rapidly, establishing a reputation as the best bakery in Cuba until the political differences in 1960 forced the family to abandon the business.
