About the corn class & tasting

For us mexicans, corn represents our history, our identity and the heritage that those impresive pre-colonial civilizations gave to us. There is no way to come to México and don´t eat it in at least one of it´s innumerable ways to prepare. Since our foundation, La Flor de Jamaica has been doing tortillas to provide to our neightborhood and the market this basic element in mexican diet. We have our own tortillería that gives service from 7 am to 7 pm and produce around one ton of tortillas every single day. 

​

We will meet at La Flor de Jamaica and will have a walk inside the Jamaica Market to try a sample of fresh corn and see how people there use it in many different ways. After this we will enter to La Flor de Jamaica´s tortillería to begin with our corn class, that will solve all your questions and give you so much facts about corn and its characteristics. You will learn the full process of how tortillas are done, and will make your own tortilla. At the end our chefs will prepare a tasting in wich you will try different traditional plates prepared from fresh corn and tortillas that will increase your knowledge around this important element in mexican cuisine.
