My name is Pablo Salva and I am the Founder of Rosalina Abuela e Hija.
“Every enterprise has a past, in short, a history.”
In the case of Rosalina Abuela e Hija, we must go back 60 years, highlighting the figure of a tireless worker “Don Gumercindo Salva”, a wise craftsman and connoisseur of all the farming that the land needs for it to flourish in fruit.
This is how this good Lord “my Paternal Grandfather”, inspired by the fact that the vine is life expectancy, decides to stop being a day laborer or laborer and begins to work as the owner of the land, his land. A tremendous example of overcoming.
That is why, following in the footsteps of exemplary steps, with Rosalina Grandmother and Daughter, I have started this undertaking recreating the past in this present with a healthy challenge of continuity in the prosperous life of the worker.
Humanity has enjoyed raisins since the dawn of civilization.
“In ancient Rome, raisins were used as barter currency.”
The early Phoenicians and Egyptians were responsible for expanding the popularity of raisins throughout the Western world. Because of their large storage capacity and ease of transportation, raisins traveled with Christopher Columbus, tickled George Washington’s palate on Mount Vernon, helped spur Robert E. Peary to conquer the North Pole in 1908 , and accompanied astronaut Scout Carpenter in space in 1962. As they were very easy to transport, preserve and store, raisins accompanied Christopher Columbus on his first voyage to discover the Americas. The rest of the sailors also knew the virtues of raisins and carried them in the holds of their ships on the great historical expeditions.
As a curiosity, the first president of the United States George Washington loved them. They accompanied Robert E. Peary when he first reached the North Pole in 1908. And incredible as it may seem, in 1962, they accompanied astronaut Scout Carpenter in space. In ancient Rome, raisins were used as barter currency, to make medicines, as prizes in athletic competitions, and even to pay taxes. Etymology of the word raisin
The word raisins is a term derived from the abbreviation of the Latin phrase uva passa. Contrary to what one might think, it does not come from “passing” the grain of the grape, until it dries. Rather, it is a voice whose etymology is found in the Latin verb pandere, from the passive participle passus, passa, passum = extended, spread out, spread out in the air to dry. With that semantic value the term was used at the end of the 14th century.
Although for many years, there have been different methods of obtaining the raisin product, ours observes other specific characteristics to achieve the superior quality that we offer, for example: the grapes are spread out in suspended 3 and 4-story dryers, on whose structure , the product dries on fabrics of the half-shade type, supported with wires between props and wooden braces. This means that the grapes have total natural ventilation, since they do not come into contact with the floor or the ground, with partial solar radiation in the morning and afternoon, which causes them to lose moisture, which is not the same as dehydration. . This is how the grape converted into raisins preserves its entire body in pulp, sugar content and its nutritional properties. The “natural” drying process lasts approximately 40 to 50 days. Another detail to take into account is that the raisins in suspended dryers are not affected by rain, fungi and insects that vary the natural flavor of the product. In short, this system guarantees hygiene and health for the consumer.
The raisin is nothing more than the grape (product of the vine), dried. That is, moisture is extracted from the fruit by the action of natural phenomena such as solar radiation and ventilation.
Our raisins come from the Fiambalá vines and vineyards. They are located in the province of Catamarca, Argentina.
