Our History
A journey filled with flavor, tradition, and a deep desire to share a little piece of home. That's how we started, and that's how we continue to grow, product by product, connection by connection.
2016 - Tany Foods is born
With an entrepreneurial spirit, Claudia and Carlos Branger founded Tany Foods. What began as a platform to distribute Paisa cheese and bakery products from Zaguán transformed into a mission: to bring the unique flavors of Venezuela to homes in Texas and the United States.
1956 - The legacy begins
Carlos Branger's father, along with other entrepreneurs, created Paisa cheese, which would eventually become Venezuela's most beloved cheese brand. Paisa is flavor, it's identity, it's memory.
2002 - A Taste of Venezuela in Texas
After years of preparing tequeños, cachapas, and arepas for friends of many nationalities, Carlos opened Zaguán, a restaurant inspired by the word zaguán, a symbol of hospitality. There, Venezuelan flavor found a new home.
With dedication and heart, Tany Foods introduced Zaguán's shelf-ready bakery products and expanded the presence of Paisa cheese. The first customers weren't just buying food—they were reconnecting with their roots.
2016 – 2020 The First Steps
2020 – 2021 National Growth
Thanks to strategic alliances under private brands and co-packing agreements, Carlos's most outstanding products reached national chains like Walmart and Sam's Club, bringing our flavors to tables across the country.
2021 – 2022 A Bigger Pantry
With the growth of the Venezuelan population in the U.S., our offerings have also grown. Today we have over 400 products, including iconic brands like Pirucream, Toronto, and Mavesa—gastronomic treasures now being discovered by other cultures as well.
2023 – 2024 Beyond Venezuela
Tany Foods took a natural step towards diversity. We added new Hispanic products:
Copacabana, our line of Brazilian sausages made in the USA.
La Villana, a premium selection of Mexican moles and sauces
This reaffirms our commitment to the flavors of all of Latin America.
Today - A Future Full of Flavor
Each product we distribute honors the legacy of Paisa, the warmth of Zaguán, and the passion of our team.
We are proud to collaborate with our business partners, bring joy to our customers, and grow with the communities that inspire us.
At Tany Foods we don't just sell food — we share tradition, create community, and celebrate culture.
