Patagonia's superfood on your palate, in different formats.

For as long as there has been Patagonia, there has been calafate. The calafate berry (Berberis microphylla), native to southern Chile and Argentina, is known in English as the Magellan barberry or simply calafate berry. This small, dark blue or purple berry is similar in appearance to a blueberry and has a sweet-tart flavor, making it popular for jams, jellies, and desserts.

The indigenous people harvested it for its flavour but especially for its nutritional and medical properties, as it has one of the highest chemical antioxidant activities present in edible fruits on the planet. It is considered a superfood.

You can eat it, you can drink it and you can take home a bottle of syrup as a souvenir.
