Abstract
La ciudad de Otavalo es conocida por su cultura diversa y su patrimonio histórico, visible en festivales y tradiciones locales. Su vestimenta, alimentación y dialecto kichwa son expresiones claras de su identidad cultural. A pesar de la importancia de su repostería tradicional, hay poca información precisa sobre ella en libros y tesis. La investigación planteó la hipótesis de que hay pocas fuentes de información y que éstas generalizan haciendo referencia a la historia culinaria del Ecuador, en este marco se llevó a cabo un estudio para conocer mejor la repostería otavaleña. Se buscó recopilar, analizar y sintetizar toda la información posible, así el estudio mostró que, aunque algunos de estos postres tienen larga tradición, hay escasez de datos científicos confiables y verificables, es por ello que aplicar esta investigación y dejar registro de ello ayudó a concretar cuales son los postres otavaleños tradicionales y así proceder a proponer la implementación de una línea de postres artesanales tradicionales en la empresa “FIVE” minimarket de la ciudad de Otavalo, por medio de la innovación de la oferta gastronómica actual. En el proceso investigativo se identificaron tres fundamentos que argumentan la pertenencia de ciertos postres tradicionales de Otavalo, que son los siguientes: primero el tiempo que se han perpetuado las preparaciones, segundo la reputación de las preparaciones en fechas festivas importantes como el Pawkar Raymi, Inti Raymi y Yamor y tercero las técnicas, métodos e instrumentos que se utilizan para las preparaciones. La metodología de la presente investigación es de tipo mixto y como resultado se obtuvieron fundamentos objetivos los cuales avalan la pertenencia de postres tradicionales en Otavalo, esto se debe al aporte de la información documental hallada que es generalizada a un país, y a la investigación de campo que fue sintetizada y concluida a un solo criterio.
The city of Otavalo is known for its diverse culture and historical heritage, visible in local festivals and traditions. Its clothing, food and Kichwa dialect are clear expressions of its cultural identity. Despite the importance of its traditional confectionery, there is little accurate information about it in books and theses. The research hypothesized that there are few sources of information and that they generalize referring to the culinary history of Ecuador, in this framework a study was carried out to better understand the Otavaleño confectionery. We sought to collect, analyze and synthesize all possible information, so the study showed that, although some of these desserts have a long tradition, there is a shortage of reliable and verifiable scientific data, which is why applying this research and record it helped to determine which are the traditional Otavalo desserts and thus proceed to propose the implementation of a line of traditional handmade desserts in the company FIVE minimarket in the city of Otavalo, through innovation of the current gastronomic offer. In the research process, three fundamentals were identified that argue the belonging of certain traditional desserts of Otavalo, which are the following: first, the time that the preparations have been perpetuated, second, the reputation of the preparations on important holidays such as Pawkar Raymi, Inti Raymi and Yamor and third, the techniques, methods and tools used for the preparations. The methodology of the present investigation is of a mixed type and as a result objective foundations were obtained which support the belonging of traditional desserts in Otavalo, this is due to the contribution of the documentary information found that is generalized to a country, and to the field investigation that was synthesized and concluded to a single criterion.
