Our Story

A Tradition of Refined Refreshment

Nestled on Main Street in the historic mining town of Jerome, Paleteria La Jalpita carries forward a cherished family recipe passed down through generations. We believe that the simplest pleasures — a perfectly balanced flavor, the crunch of a hand-dipped treat — deserve to be crafted with the same care and intention as any fine dining experience.

Every popsicle we create begins with locally sourced fruits, pure cane sugar, and an unwavering commitment to quality. No artificial colors. No shortcuts. Just honest, vibrant flavors that honor our roots while delighting every palate.
