Levapan and Rabelo Foods: A partnership with history, roots, and a vision for the future.
Since 1953, Levapan has been more than just a food company — it’s been part of the everyday lives of families and entrepreneurs across Latin America. Born in Colombia, our roots run deep, and our journey has taken us to Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, and Spain. Over the decades, we’ve become a symbol of trust, tradition, and innovation. From artisan bakeries to large-scale kitchens, our yeast, extracts, flavor enhancers, and raw ingredients have helped shape unforgettable recipes and fuel countless dreams — in homes, in small businesses, and in entire communities.
San Jorge, Gel’hada, and Levapan have earned a place in history — and in the hearts of millions. These aren’t just products; they’re ingredients woven into the cultural fabric of Latin America. Each item that leaves our facilities carries a promise: to nourish with quality, to protect health, to enhance flavor, and to support the businesses that bring life and energy to our local economies.
Today, that promise grows stronger as we begin a new chapter: Levapan arrives in the United States, hand in hand with a partner who shares our values, our roots, and our vision — Rabelo Foods Group.
Who is Rabelo Foods?
Rabelo Foods is not just another company in the industry. It’s a business group built on the hard work, vision, and passion of a Hispanic family with deep roots in food. Owner of iconic brands like JS Cheeses (founded in 1966) and Espinosa Beef (with nearly half a century of experience), Rabelo Foods has built a legacy by supplying fresh, organic, and high-quality products to bakeries, restaurants, stores, and supermarkets across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
JS Cheeses has transformed the profile of Latin cheeses in the United States by crafting products with premium-quality milk while honoring traditional recipes from countries like Mexico, El Salvador, Venezuela, and Colombia. Espinosa Beef, meanwhile, supplies carefully selected meats — beef, pork, chicken, and fish — meeting the demands of the Hispanic market without compromising its commitment to natural and healthy food.
Ambas empresas son manejadas hoy por la tercera generación de la familia, jóvenes empresarios nacidos en Estados Unidos pero con el corazón y la visión anclados en la herencia de sus abuelos latinoamericanos. Esa combinación de conocimiento técnico, pasión por la cultura y visión empresarial ha hecho de Rabelo Foods un referente para miles de clientes y aliados comerciales.
