Heladería Coromoto, commonly known as Coromoto, is an ice cream parlor in Merida, Venezuela, known for offering a Guinness World Record of 860 flavors (actual Guinness World Record is 985 flavors held by Matt and Mike Casarez USA).[1] Coromoto was established by Manuel da Silva Oliveira, who began his ice cream career at well-established ice cream firms, before founding the store in a bid to create more appealing ice cream flavors. Coromoto sells 60 different ice cream flavors in accordance with factors such as the weather. Lonely Planet Venezuela calls Coromoto a popular tourist destination.
History[edit]
Heladería Coromoto was founded in 1980[2][3] or 1981[4] by Manuel da Silva Oliveira, an immigrant from Portugal. Prior to that, Oliveira served as a worker for 'the big ice-cream companies'. Wanting to create ice cream flavors that would appeal more to consumers, he broke out and started Coromoto. The parlor started out with four common flavors, vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, and coconut, however when its avocado flavor, launched for its novelty value, became a hit, he started experimenting. By the time, he created flavor No. 593 called 'Chipi Chipi', after its ingredient a saltwater shellfish, the Guinness Book incorporated his name in their book.[3] In 2006, the shop opened its first franchise, 'Coromoto' at Portimão on the southern coast of Portugal and 185 miles south of capital Lisbon. It is opened by his eldest son, also named Manuel Da Silva Oliveira, and Oliveira thereafter divides his time between Venezuela and Portugal.[3]
For unknown reasons, Oliveira no longer patrons the store; Jose Ramirez manages the store.[2]
Products[edit]
Coromoto is known for offering 860 ice cream flavors – recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the most in the world – although only around 60[2][5] to 75,[4] are sold each day. Among others, the store sells garlic ice cream and chili ice cream, as well as quirkier-sounding flavors such as 'British Airways' and 'Viagra Hope'.[2]The unofficial world record of flavors permanently available in the shop belongs to Fenocchio i Nice in France. His shop has 94 flavors permanently in the shop.
