Our Story
Just like your family, we cherish the joy of cooking, sharing meals, and creating lasting memories in the heart of the home — the kitchen. It's where stories are passed down, and traditions take shape through flavor. Panza is our modern interpretation of a beloved family guava dessert, lovingly reimagined into over a dozen distinctive, gourmet flavors. With each handcrafted Panza stick, we celebrate our Euro-Caribbean roots — from Puerto Rico, Spain, and Italy — honoring the vibrant cultures that shape our identity. Inspired by global tastes and crafted with organic ingredients, Panza offers a refined indulgence — a journey of flavor that connects past and present in every bite.

A Family Affair

GIANNA MALATRASI
The visionary behind The Panza, Gianna brings a thoughtful blend of artistry, heritage, and imagination to everything she creates. A Boston College alumna with a background in design and art history, she draws inspiration from the beauty found in the unexpected — whether in a quiet moment, a piece of art, or a perfectly balanced flavor. Raised by entrepreneurs, Gianna has always followed a path of her own making, shaping her career across the arts and culture world as a creative director, designer, and curator. Alongside her husband Roberto, she shares a deep love for skiing, the outdoors, and the transformative power of art.

ROBERTO FUERTES
The strategic mind behind The Panza, Roberto carries a legacy of food and beverage craftsmanship that runs deep — a third-generation manufacturer with a lifetime immersed in the industry. His hands-on expertise and instinct for innovation have guided the growth of multiple successful ventures across a range of sectors. With an entrepreneurial spirit and a deep respect for tradition, Roberto brings both precision and passion to every aspect of the business. Beyond the world of work, he’s a devoted father to three spirited daughters, and finds joy in skiing, horseback riding, and spending time in nature — where he feels most grounded and inspired.

THE BOSSES
The Pride and Joy. The center of our family and the quiet force that keeps us grounded, grateful, and always moving forward. With endearing authority, they oversee everything from our work hours to our holidays — gently reminding us when it’s time to pause, rest, and simply enjoy life’s little moments in between. We are extremely proud of each of them. As they illuminate our world with their own unique light.
