Gelatina de Pata is made from the natural collagen of beef feet, which are slow-cooked for hours to separate the meat, skin, and bone and concentrate the gelatin's setting power. The resulting collagen is then cooked with panela — Colombia's traditional unrefined cane sugar — along with spices like cinnamon and vanilla. The candy is also prepared with cornstarch and vanilla to achieve its signature smooth, firm, and slightly elastic texture. In artisan production, the candy is shaped into cylinders and dusted with a mix of cornstarch and powdered sugar to prevent sticking in the packaging. El Universal + 2

Bumbi packages this authentic regional treat into a convenient box of 8 individually wrapped pieces, bringing the taste of Colombian street markets straight to your home.
