The Producers: Gerardo Lopez (La Tortilleria) - pride, commitment and the joys of maize
In 2012, the Australian culinary landscape was experiencing a Mexican food wave. But there were a few things missing. Mexican-born Gerardo Lopez especially lamented the lack of traditional corn tortillas. He got busy researching, testing, and eventually making tortillas from locally grown grain. The vision has since expanded from a small-scale side hustle to La Tortilleria, a factory that processes hundreds of tonnes of corn annually, sends tortillas all around Australia and exports them to Asia too. It\u2019s a company built on pride, commitment and the joys of maize.\n\nhttps://latortilleria.com.au\n\nFollow The Producers on Instagram\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/\n\nHost Dani Valent\xa0\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/danivalent\n\nHost Anthony Huckstep\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/\n\nExecutive Producer Rob Locke\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/\n\n\nLISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork\n\nThe Producers is a food podcast telling the stories of producers, farmers, growers and makers..
