AMASAR
ROOTED IN TRADITION. DRIVEN BY INNOVATION. INSPIRED BY BREADFRUIT
At Amasar, we are more than a food company — we are building a movement rooted in "Pana-culture", a life philosophy grounded in healthy eating, environmental stewardship, and cultural heritage. We believe that what we eat should nourish our bodies, protect our planet, and honor our roots.
Founded in Jayuya, Puerto Rico, Amasar is led by Marisol Villalobos, a scientist and former chemistry professor, and Jesús Martes, a chemical engineer and former pharma executive. Both were raised on coffee farms and bring together their deep connection to agriculture with scientific expertise to transform food systems for the better.
