'you know that there in Hurlingham there is a woman named Laura and with her family she got to make jams, we have to help her because she is making a huge effort
. '' She brought me two jams, one with red fruits, and there we just put some toasts with the jam ... Juanchi took that photo and we began to tell the story of Laura and of his entire family, "recalled the President from the door of Laura's Delicity, located on Mascagni Street.

Hurlingham Entrepreneur Laura's Story
Laura Silva, an entrepreneur from Buenos Aires, learned to make jams with her parents at their home in Hurlingham, but the need to find a new career path, after ten years of working in a call center, led her to create her own brand: Laura's Delicity.
The local fairs were his first points of sale and word of mouth the best publicity.
Until in a talk with entrepreneurs the Minister of Social Development of the Nation, Juan Zabaleta, still as mayor of Hurlingham, met Laura and tasted her jams.

Later, Zabaleta took the sweets into the hands of Fernández, who uploaded a photo to his social networks highlighting the importance of having a Gondolas Law so that consumers can access products from entrepreneurs like Laura.
After the publication, the head of state caused the jams to become a symbol to promote the Gondolas Law, which was approved by Congress in February 2020 and regulated by the national government in December of that year.
It is a family business, whose first points of sale were local fairs.
According to the Presidency in a statement, "thanks to the Tool Bank program of the National Secretariat of Social Economy, Laura bought equipment such as a cold room, a pan, a pasteurizer, an industrial kitchen, countertops and shelves, with a approximate investment of 2 million pesos ".
"This impulse allowed her to increase her production and she is already selling throughout the country, at the Tecnópolis Regional Fair and since this week in the gondolas of supermarkets such as Chango Más (Walmart). In turn, the Municipality of Hurlingham assisted her to that it could have its own sales stand, where it also manufactures preserves, "he added.
