The name refers to how ice cream is made just as they do in Michoacan, Mexico, according to Mayra. It is a family business in which they work along with their children and share their creative and unique foods and treats with their customers.

Located in Modesto, California, our company, La Michoacana, produces and distributes paletas, CoolStix™ (traditionally known as bolis), and other frozen novelties that are hand crafted with fresh cream, a wide variety of fruits, and other quality ingredients like walnuts, pistachios, and rich chocolate.
