The Casabe Guaraguanó is a top quality food, whose production and consumption is known from the indigenous people. The indigenous people used cassava to make cassava, which was their main food. Before the arrival of Christopher Columbus, in the year 1492, the aborigines were already experts in the cultivation of cassava and the elaboration of cassava.
Until the mid-1970s (70), cassava was produced in a rustic way and with almost the same old technique that our ancestors used: almost in all the houses in our fields, in the mountains, there was a buren to make cassava that they consumed. the family for food. This product, so widely used in the family diet, was not offered for sale in grocery stores and supermarkets.
It is then, when an employee of the post office of the municipality of Monción, begins to carry in the trunk of his car, along with the correspondence that he has to take to Santiago, cassava cakes for which he sought an outlet by selling them to individuals and to some businesses that I did errands. On one of those trips, when sales were increasing, he found an electric motor on the road, and he immediately thought of setting up a cassava factory where he could use that motor to grind cassava and thus produce more. He resigned from his job at the post office and set out to industrialize cassava.
On July 16, 1976, he started a humble company with four clay burins, an electric mill, and a stick and stone press. He presented his product packed in yellow paper from grocery stores.
This is how NICOLAS ALMONTE became the pioneer of the industrialization of cassava. He was looking for new ways of accommodation and performance in the milling of cassava, the extraction of bitter juice, for the preparation of catibia, he invented the cement iron, gas iron and the use of the electric motor in the manufacture of cassava.
The cassava industry has been developing little by little and today cassava has become a favorite dish in all environments both in the country and abroad.
Today, we celebrate forty years in the hearts of Dominicans. The company has remained the leading company in the manufacture of the best cassava, with its world brand CASABE GUARAGUANO whose name comes from the indigenous chief who ruled the town at that time, today called Monción.
With our initiative, today the municipality is known as the Capital of Casabe.
