Gofio El Guanche 16 oz Pack of 3

Canary Islands toasted flour — the Spanish heritage Cuban-Americans rediscover

Gofio is toasted corn or wheat flour from the Canary Islands — a Canarian tradition that traveled to Cuba with 19th-century immigrants and remains beloved in some Cuban-American families today. Gofio El Guanche is one of the most respected gofio brands. This Pack of 3 keeps the Canary Islands-Cuban kitchen stocked for the household that uses gofio regularly.

How to use gofio

1. Gofio amasado — knead gofio with warm water, oil, and salt into a doughy bread eaten with cheese and olives
2. Escaldón — combine gofio with hot fish or meat broth into a porridge-like dish
3. Gofio con leche — stir gofio into warm milk with sugar for a breakfast drink
4. Sprinkled over fruit, yogurt, or ice cream as a Canarian topping
5. Added to bread doughs for a nutty Canarian flavor
6. Mixed into mojo as a thickener for traditional Canarian sauces

Why gofio is hard to find

Gofio is specifically Canarian — outside of the Canary Islands and Canary Islands-influenced communities (parts of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela), it's nearly invisible in the broader Latin grocery world. Cuban-American kitchens with Canarian heritage rediscover gofio when they want the breakfast or porridge traditions of their grandparents.

Why three bags?

Cuban-American families with Canarian roots often use gofio multiple times per week — breakfast porridge, mid-morning gofio con leche, snack mixes. Three bags covers about 2-3 months of regular use. Single bag available here for first-time tryers.

Storage

Store in a cool dry pantry, sealed. After opening, transfer to an airtight container to preserve the toasted aroma. Best within 6 months of opening.
