LA PAMPA EMPANADAS GOURMET
LA PAMPA EMPANADAS GOURMET AN ARGENTINE FLAVOUR JOURNEY AT THE HEART OF CANADA THE ORIGINS: A DREAM COME TRUE The story of La Pampa Empanadas Gourmet began with a deep desire to share a piece of Argentine essence with the Canadian community. Behind this dream are Alfonso Maury, an internationally experienced chef, and his wife Roxana, both born in Argentina. The nostalgia of flavours from their childhood and the conviction that food can bridge cultures led them to found a unique business: the first empanada specialty shop in Western Canada. Inspired by their homeland, Alfonso and Roxana began experimenting in their kitchen, reviving family recipes and adapting local ingredients to their gourmet vision. BEYOND EMPANADAS: ICONIC PRODUCTS AND EXPANSION La Pampa opened its first storefront in 2017. As demand grew, the brand took two major steps: launching a second location in 2020 and developing its own line of empanada crust shells. Crafted with traditional recipes and adapted for the local market, these shells have enabled Winnipeg eateries to feature Argentine empanadas on their menus while giving home cooks the opportunity to recreate them at home.
ALFAJORES, COOKIES AND SWEETS: THE SWEET TOUCH OF TRADITION
La Pampa’s menu would not be complete without the sweet nostalgia of Argentine desserts. From classic cornstarch alfajores to artisanal cookies with flavours reminiscent of Buenos Aires bakeries, each bite is an invitation to travel with your taste buds.
