Early Life and Education
Botijas>>, delectable table olives from Peru, are packed full of selenium. In addition, these delicious treats contain calcium, iron, vitamins A & E as well as heart healthy oleic acid for maximum nutrition and heart wellness.
Once olive trees arrived in Viceroyalty Lima, due to government policy and Creole pride in relation to them, new forms of olive cultivation emerged that focused on processing table olives (botija>>), without significant oil production.
Tambo 22 was established to meet both ecclesiastical demand for lampante oil as well as promote cultural pride for Peru’s olives, hence its name – guests can look forward to an array of tapas-style small plates such as Peruvian burger and anticuchos; plus potato-based snacks known as causitas.
