Tamalitoz
Brand · Food and drink
Before there was Tamalitoz, there was a tiny, high-altitude candy studio in the heart of Mexico City called Sugarox. It was there, among the hustle and bustle of the city, that we, Jack and Declan, spent our days hunched over bubbling copper kettles, hand-stretching 20-pound rolls of glowing hot sugar on wall hooks.
Our customers used to stand mesmerized behind the glass, watching the rhythmic dance of the candy-making process. One afternoon, as we were hand-pulling a fresh batch of our signature ribbon candy pillows, brightly striped and packed with our secret blend of chili, lime, and sea salt, a woman watching us gasped.
"¡Parecen tamalitos!" she exclaimed. "They look like tiny tamales!"
In that moment, Tamalitoz by Sugarox was born.
