Founded by sisters Maria Williams, a Navy veteran, and Angela Hill, a former restaurateur, known as "The Melao Sisters." The two grew up in Puerto Tejada, Colombia, where their grandparents ran a grocery store started in the early 1950s and worked the local farmers market, and where the sisters ate sugar cane from the fields as children. They formed Sweet Melao LLC in July 2021 and officially launched the brand on June 23, 2023 at the Amazon Small Business Conference in New York City with a run of beta products.
