About Us
Our Origins in Global Food Trade
Tariano Food was founded in 2007 with a clear mission: to trade food products responsibly on a global scale, prioritizing quality. In our early years, we worked mainly with sugar and coffee, which gave us valuable hands-on experience with international regulations, logistics, and food safety standards. Through this work, we learned how food moves across borders and how easily quality and nutrition can be lost along the way.
Over time, we noticed problems in the global food industry. Many products are designed mainly for long shelf life, low cost, and mass production. As a result, nutrition is often not the top priority. Even products that meet safety regulations may contain high amounts of refined carbohydrates, industrial oils, and artificial additives. We learned that following regulations does not always mean a product is truly nutritious or supportive of long-term health.
Finding and Applying a Solution
These experiences pushed us to rethink our direction. Instead of continuing to accept these compromises, we chose a different path. We are committed to using natural ingredients, minimal processing, and focusing on real nutritional value. Our goal shifted from simply selling food to creating products that support everyday health.
Before applying this philosophy to people, we first used it on animals. While living in Colombia with my daughters, we bred German Shepherds for international competitions. We traveled to Germany to learn from experienced breeders and to select strong bloodlines. During this time, we noticed that many commercial dog foods were highly processed and nutritionally limited, like what we had seen in the human food industry.
By researching natural feeding methods and learning from breeders, we developed an entirely natural dog food without artificial ingredients. Over time, we observed improvements in the dogs’ energy, focus, and overall condition during training and competitions. This experience reinforced what we already believed: nutrition plays a significant role in physical performance, mental clarity, and overall well-being. With a background in food and hospitality, I began applying these lessons to human nutrition by creating products to improve human health, further reinforcing the fact that what we eat affects not only our physical health but also our mental clarity, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.
Our Commitment to Preventive Health Today
After relocating to the United States, we closed the kennel. Still, we continued our mission, focusing on human health, and this led to the creation of our first product: Tariano Herbal Infused Water. It was designed as a simple, natural alternative to sugary drinks and artificially flavored beverages. Each blend is crafted with precision to achieve a balanced aroma, refined flavor, and the natural presence of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties, adding to the water while supporting everyday wellness, along with fruits.
At Tariano, we see preventive health as a long-term responsibility, not a trend. True wellness comes from mindful nutrition, consistent habits, and respect for the body’s natural balance. Our products reflect years of real-world experience, learning, and thoughtful development. We do not follow quick fixes or wellness fads. Instead, we focus on simple, intentional choices—because health deserves care, honesty, and respect.
About Us
Our Journey
Founded in 2007, Tariano Food has been at the forefront of global food product trading, dedicated to providing offerings that comply with the highest international food safety standards. Initially, our focus was on trading commodities such as sugar and coffee.
As our journey evolved, we established a breeding program for German Shepherd Dogs in Bogotá, Colombia. We aim to compete in national and international dog shows by sourcing the highest-quality breeding bloodlines from Germany.
Breeding Excellence
To achieve this goal, we traveled extensively to cities in northwest Germany, including Münster, Dortmund, Cologne, Frankfurt, and Hamm, where we identified potential candidates for our kennel. During this time, we encountered challenges transitioning the dogs from processed dog food, which predominantly consisted of carbohydrates like rice, barley, oats, and whole wheat.
Through discussions with fellow breeders in Germany, we learned about the benefits of using natural and homeopathic products to maintain canine health. Inspired by this knowledge, we developed a formula for 100% natural, fresh food for our dogs, free from artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. The results were astonishing, as we observed remarkable improvements in our dogs’ health, energy levels, and physical appearance within just a few months.
Nutritional Expertise
Our background in the food industry equips us to explore the nutritional value of natural plants as part of a balanced diet that benefits both animals and humans. After relocating from Colombia to the United States, we closed our kennel but remained committed to promoting human nutrition.
We recognize that diet significantly impacts physical and mental well-being and influences behavior and mindset. This realization inspired us to create Tariano Herbal Infused Water, which allows individuals to enhance regular tap or bottled water by infusing it with natural dried herbs.
Innovative Health Solutions
Each herbal infusion bag is carefully crafted to ensure a rich flavor and aroma while providing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties. These benefits are crucial in countering the adverse effects of vegetable oils, processed foods, colorants, and chemicals prevalent in the food industry.
At Tariano Food, we strive to offer a distinctive alternative that combines the refreshing qualities of water with heightened levels of essential nutrients. Through this innovative approach, our mission is to elevate health and wellness for everyone.
Our Philosophy
We support a preventive health approach that emphasizes a balanced diet, regular exercise, a positive mindset, and nurturing spiritual well-being. Embracing these elements can reduce stress and anxiety, leading to inner peace and lasting joy!
