About Us

A Taste of South America in New Zealand

🇻🇪 🇨🇴 🇳🇿

We are a small South American business LA ESQUINA LATINA LTD based in Auckland, New Zealand. Our mission is to bring the authentic taste of home to the Latin community and to anyone in New Zealand who wishes to explore the wonderful world of P.A.N. Flour cooking.

We began importing Harina PAN because we found it challenging to locate authentic Gluten-Free ✅ Pre-cooked Corn Flour locally. We recognized that many others also missed the flavors of home, and we are now dedicated to making it super easy for everyone to enjoy this genuine product.

We offer both retail and wholesale 🚚 Whether you are a Home cook, a Restaurant or a Shop we are here to assist you.
