From

The origin of the Xianas cookies it is very rural. With two children and a sick mother in her care Neli Sobrado, brand entrepreneurIt was clear to him that he needed a job that would allow him to combine both. "We came to the rural area because we wanted to raise our daughter and our son in the rural area." When it came to cooking these homemade cookies: “I thought of a activity that was compatible with the conciliation".

Therefore, together with his sister-in-law, Ana, he decided to create the company. They started by betting on a small workshop that in a short time became too small for them. "We wanted to risk little because we did not know how it was going to turn out, so we opted to make a small investment." So they bought a kneader, a vacuum sealer and came up with a electric plate able to make 18 cookies at a time.

“We had to make a custom machine, because what we weren't going to do was make the cookies 2 by 2 on top of the wood stove, so we had to come up with an electric machine that would do that”Explains Neil. With her they managed to go from doing them 2 by 2 to make batches of 18 cookies. Still, its production requires a lot of artisanal effort. "You have to knead, make pieces of about 10 grams and put 18 in the machine, one in each hole of the mold," explains Neil.
