💚 Venezuelan Freshness – Handmade in Zurich

Green. Fresh. Full of Umami. And Guaranteed Not Boring.

Sometimes you don't need heat to bring plenty of flavour to the plate. Yare La Verde is the best proof of that.

Inspired by the Venezuelan Guasacaca, a traditional green sauce, La Verde combines avocado with green bell pepper, coriander and parsley. Lime juice and rice vinegar add a vibrant freshness, while grapeseed oil makes the sauce wonderfully smooth.

The result is fresh, herbal and pleasantly tangy – without any chili heat. That is exactly why La Verde is a brilliant all-rounder: It doesn't overpower, but gives dishes that little green kick that makes you immediately want another spoonful.

🥟 A Quick Trip Through the Kitchen

La Verde loves dumplings and gyoza – and we love this combination too. The herbal freshness provides a great counterpoint to a hearty filling and works with both steamed and crispy fried dumplings.

But it certainly doesn't have to stop there. Drizzle La Verde over tacos, grilled chicken, fish, shrimp or roasted vegetables, use it as a sauce for bowls or serve it simply as a dip with crispy potatoes and bread.

🔥 About YARE

From Barcelona to Venezuela to Zurich

Behind YARE are Alfredo and Jan – two friends whose shared history didn't begin in a kitchen, but in Barcelona. Later, their paths crossed again in Zurich. From their shared passion for good food, intense aromas and sauces with character, YARE was eventually born.

However, the soul of the brand reaches all the way to Venezuela. YARE is inspired by the Diablos Danzantes de Yare – a traditional Venezuelan celebration full of colourful masks, dance, energy and fire. This exact zest for life is also found in the world of YARE: vibrant, bold, surprising and full of Sabor. YARE itself describes its mission as bringing intense Latin American aromas directly to the table.

The special thing: It's not about simply making a sauce as hot as possible. Flavour comes first. Fresh herbs, fruits, chilies, umami and unusual ingredients are combined into sauces that give a dish a completely new character with just a few drops or a generous spoonful.

And the best thing for us at Great Taste: YARE comes directly from Zurich. This means that Latin American inspiration and international food know-how meet a young local Swiss brand – handmade, vegan and with plenty of personality.

🔥 Zurich made. Latin inspired. Full of Sabor.

💚 Handmade, vegan and directly from Zurich – for more Sabor on the plate.

💡 Silvie's Tip

Definitely try it with dumplings! Simply shake La Verde well and drizzle generously over crispy fried gyoza. Add a little more lime and fresh coriander – done. Precisely because the sauce isn't spicy at all, you can be quite generous with it.
