Leticia V. Rosales Pego

Brand Creator @ Ceimaya

Leticia defines herself as an economist, mother, and entrepreneur. She is the brand creator of Ceimaya, and as in many cases, her story begins with a personal concern about eating healthy and taking care of the environment. This leads her to develop a line of products engaged to offer healthy and delicious organic products. She picked honey products because Mexico is a high-quality producer of varietal honey.

Ceimaya is well represented in supermarkets across Mexico and now it crossed borders to be at supermarkets in Texas, USA.
