Quebracho Empanadas, a wholesale manufacturer of frozen empanadas, was born from the ashes of  - Quebracho Charcuterie & Pies –a small-scale pop-up and catering company specializing in her grandmother's empanadas. 

The COVID-19 pandemic forced Belén Rodríguez, to shut down her business. She was faced with the decision of either closing the business for good or pivoting and finding a way to continue sharing her family's recipes during such unprecedented times Quebracho Empanadas was born. 

Her new concept allowed her to keep the company's essence alive while still doing what she loved and, most importantly, being accompanied by the same team –the same family it all started with. Quebracho Empanadas is now a wholesale manufacturer of frozen empanadas that people can take home and finish cooking in just under 20 minutes for an authentic, homemade family meal.
