The history of MAIS
When we migrate we are exposed to an endless number of things to learn and discover, it is wonderful to meet new people, hear new languages and go to places where diversity, history, food and everything seems new, good and different prevail. You also miss, a little part of you is open to the new and another wants to stay connected to your roots.
Mais is a little part of Latin America in Europe that was born from the desire to preserve and share culture, adapt to a new environment and become a bridge between those from there and those from here. It is a story of will, innovation, and above all, love for the flavors that connect us with our roots.
Mais was created by three Colombian women, based in the Netherlands, passionate about good flavor, good taste and good living. Our personal experience combined with professional experience made us expand into the area of baking, pastry and coffee. We want to reach the growing community of Colombian and Latin American immigrants who are looking for a piece of home in a country where they are being reborn.
However, Mais was not only created for Latinos, but also for locals who have begun to appreciate the products for their quality and originality. This led us to diversify our offering, including various Latin American bakery products, such as Argentine empanadas, alfajores and others.
