In the Dutch Caribbean, the goat isn’t just an animal it’s a symbol of strength, survival, and identity. For generations, the kabritu has been the heartbeat of Crioyo culture. It fed our families, shaped our traditions, and became part of who we are.
To us, a goat represents resilience: the ability to thrive under a burning sun, to make life bloom in dry land, and to turn scarcity into flavor, culture, and pride. When we speak of the goat, we speak of ourselves. Crioyo people who rise, adapt, and carry our heritage forward with dignity.
Whether it’s in the kitchen, in folklore, in music, or on the kunuku, the goat reminds us where we come from. It’s the flavor of home, the sound of tradition, and the spirit of our people.
This is not just heritage it’s culture you can taste, stories you can feel, and pride you can carry with you. This is CRIOYO.
