“It is in the excitement of the unknown, but the certainty of our capacity for dreaming and executing, it is in that friction… that magic unfolds”
Diana Chavarro Gonzalez, Founder
Our story
Originally known as one of Cape Town’s first artisan ice cream brands circa 2012, Las Paletas was brought to life by dreamer and creative Diana Chavarro Gonzalez, inspired by the flavours, memories, and colours of her Colombian childhood.
Fast forward 13 years, and we’ve evolved into a studio of sensory storytelling held under one roof as Alma Experimental. Today, we craft bespoke experiences designed not only to delight your palate for a moment, but to leave an imprint on your soul for a lifetime. We no longer in the business of mass production, we create and design with an intention, a propose and with a dream that ignite us as a team.
If you can dream it, we can make it.
And if your dream needs shaping, we’ll lovingly craft the vision with you or for you.
Our Offering
Las Paletas is now a flavour driven design studio, dedicated to turning ice cream into immersive brand experiences that go far beyond the product itself.
We create with intention. We design with purpose. And we craft with the kind of dream that moves us forward as a team.
What we do best is translating who you are; your brand, your theme, your essence, into a sensory moment your guests will remember. From fashion brands to sporting events, from black-tie galas to bold brand activations, your world becomes our inspiration.
Because ice cream is not just ice cream, it’s memory, emotion, nostalgia, delight.
And our palette holds extraordinary power to carry those memories.
Every flavour tells a story. Every design holds a feeling. And every experience is made to linger long after the last taste.
Our Clients
Our clients are brands and creative teams who understand the value of bespoke, sensory experiences.
They choose Las Paletas to bring their vision to life through customised flavours, designs, and activations that excite audiences and elevate events; transforming ideas into flavourful memories; moments that engage the senses, invite play, and leave a lasting imprint.
