Our Story
The Birth of a Tradition
In the heart of Celaya, Guanajuato—the undisputed home of authentic cajeta—our story began in 1923. What started as a family recipe, passed down through generations, grew into a symbol of Mexican heritage. Using only the finest goat’s milk and time-honored techniques, we crafted a caramel delicacy that would become Cajeta La Reyna—a name synonymous with quality and tradition.
Crafted with Pride, Perfected Over Time
The Copper Kettle Alchemy
Our cajeta’s signature richness comes from a ritual unchanged since 1923: slow-cooking fresh goat’s milk in traditional copper kettles. Copper distributes heat evenly, allowing the milk to caramelize into a deep, velvety texture—a technique perfected over generations. This isn’t just cooking; it’s a transformation guided by time and tradition.
Certified Heritage, Guaranteed Authenticity
Cajeta La Reyna isn’t just made in Celaya—it’s legally bound to its land. Our Certificate of Origin is a shield against imitation, proving every jar meets strict standards: from local goat’s milk to ancestral methods. This seal isn’t just a label; it’s a promise that you’re tasting the true soul of Guanajuato.
