Blending Cultures & Preserving Traditions with Flor de la Jara


In our episode, Tiffany Cohen shares her entrepreneurial journey with her husband. Together, they have merged Jamaican and Spanish traditions to create Flor de la Jara, a unique olive oil brand. This venture is not just about producing high-quality olive oil; it’s a testament to honoring their respective cultures and promoting well-being within Caribbean communities. The challenges they face in the import-export business are numerous, but Tiffany highlights the strengths they leverage to navigate these obstacles. Her husband excels in negotiations and logistics, while Tiffany’s skills lie in administrative tasks and research. This dynamic partnership is key to their success.

One of the most intriguing aspects of their olive oil brand is its health benefits.

In the final segment of the episode, Tiffany reflects on the importance of maintaining good health and shares her personal commitment to promoting well-being, especially within Caribbean communities. She emphasizes that their olive oil is not just a product but a means to preserve and honor their cultural heritage. The availability of their olive oil through their website and Instagram makes it accessible to all, ensuring that everyone can experience the health benefits of their preservative-free olive oil.

In summary, this episode is a rich exploration of the intersection between cultural heritage, culinary traditions, and entrepreneurial ventures. Tiffany Brown’s journey is an inspiring reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural roots while innovating and adapting to modern challenges. Her passion for high-quality food products and commitment to promoting well-being within her community are truly commendable.
