Specialties: Manufacturers of Pork Rinds (Chicharrones) Pickled Pork Rinds (Cueritos) Wheat Flour Snacks (Duritos de Harina) Aqui y donde Quieran, Solo Nuestros Chicharrones Truenan! Established in 1935. Gaytan Foods was started in 1935 by Florencio and Jesus Gaytan - One item seemed to sell more than anything else - Florencio's home made Pork Rinds, or Chicharrones. Soon Florencio & Jesus's son Rudy took over the business. He designed and built the world's first fully automated Pork Rind production plant in the 1970's. While other companies have tried to imitate our unique process, no one has been able to duplicate the light, fluffy texture and natural flavor our proprietary method makes. The 1990's again saw a dramatic improvement in productivity to keep up with our growing cooking department. Our strict quality assurance measures helped to ensure we retained our original home cooked style while increasing demand. In 2000 we re-launched our pickled products line (a throwback to the 70's!). We are now the largest producer of Pickled Pork Rinds (Cueritos) and Pickled Pig's Feet (Patitas) in the United States.
