Susurros del Ruiz

Susurros del Ruiz grows and exports mangostino (mangosteen) from Mariquita, Tolima, Colombia, a region with an official Denomination of Origin for this fruit. The business offers fresh whole fruit in season, frozen seedless pulp for professional kitchens and mixology, and dehydrated powder for nutraceutical and functional beverage uses. It is also launching a mangostino sparkling soda and a limited-edition orange wine made from the fruit. Products are traceable back to the tree and made without added sugar or sweeteners. The founder was involved in securing the region's official Denomination of Origin through Asomangostino. The business also buys mangostino harvests directly from local growers in Mariquita.
