💚 Venezuelan freshness – handmade in Zurich

Green. Creamy. Herby. And guaranteed not boring.

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

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

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

🥟 Across the culinary map

La Verde loves dumplings and gyoza – and we love this combination too. The herby freshness creates a great contrast to savory fillings and works perfectly with both steamed and crispy pan-fried dumplings.

But it definitely doesn't have to end 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 for crispy potatoes and bread.

🔥 About YARE

From Barcelona via Venezuela to Zurich

Behind YARE are Alfredo and Jan – two friends whose shared story didn't start in a kitchen, but in Barcelona. Later, their paths crossed again in Zurich. From a shared passion for good food, intense aromas, and sauces with character, YARE was finally 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 colorful masks, dance, energy, and fire. This exact zest for life is reflected in the world of YARE: vibrant, bold, surprising, and full of flavor. YARE describes its mission as bringing intense Latin American flavors directly to the table.

The special thing: it's not about making a sauce as hot as possible. Taste comes first. Fresh herbs, fruits, chilis, 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 part for us at Great Taste: YARE comes directly from Zurich. This is where 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 flavor.

💚 Handmade, vegan, and straight from Zurich – for more flavor on your plate.

💡 Silvie’s tip

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