Chef who specialises in fifth-range and assemblage products
When I reflect on the culinary world, on the true essence of cooking, I often realize that many only see the end result, that impeccable dish served on the table. But behind that dish, there is an intricate dance of steps and preparations that we know as “Mise en Place”. It involves countless hours…
Imagine spending hours transforming ingredients, organizing, and controlling stocks. I remember days when chefs, including myself, worked between sixty and seventy hours a week, leaving little room for anything else outside the kitchen. I experienced this reality firsthand and recognized the need to dignify and seek stability in our profession. From this desire to bring ease and balance to chefs’ lives, Gastrónomos was born. This was the driving force behind our quest to make chefs’ lives easier.
What does Gastrónomos mean to me?
Since forever, my family and I have had a special connection with food, from crafting products in a poultry shop to other ventures. This family heritage evolved and transformed into a passion for catering and creating fifth-range products for the culinary sector. With Gastrónomos, my vision is to offer high-level culinary solutions for the Food Service, hospitality, catering, and restaurant channels, seeking not only to deliver quality but also a differentiating value.
How did the idea of Gastrónomos come about?
After years immersing myself in gastronomy, working and learning in different restaurants, and exploring various lines of business, I decided to take a step forward and create our central kitchen. It wasn’t an easy path; behind this decision, there was a blend of effort, dedication, and, above all, a profound love for gastronomy.
With Gastrónomos, I aim not only to offer quality products but also to share with everyone a story, a passion, and my commitment to gastronomic excellence. To assist the chef who seeks to distinguish themselves not only in flavor but also in efficiency and business, we offer an extensive portfolio of fifth-range products that respect the integrity of ingredients and reduce preparation time. With Gastrónomos, the professional chef finds a reliable partner in their mission to serve excellence in every dish while maximizing their commercial performance.
