The Origin of the Ingredient: An Andean Treasure

The alpaca, native to the high Andes, has been raised by local communities since pre-Columbian times. Its meat, rich in protein and low in fat, is valued for its delicate flavor and juicy texture. At Hanz, we select premium alpaca cuts from local producers who practice sustainable farming, respecting both the animal and the Andean ecosystem.

This tribute to Peruvian heritage blends with modern techniques to create innovative dishes like the Andean Alpaca Burger, which celebrates the best of the region.

The Art of Preparing the Perfect Burger

The Andean Alpaca Burger is much more than just a burger; it's a carefully crafted masterpiece designed to delight the senses. Here's how it makes its way to your plate:

  • Alpaca meat (200 grams): We select lean, juicy cuts that guarantee an intense yet balanced flavor.
  • Artisanal bun: Freshly baked daily, offering a soft texture that perfectly complements the meat.
  • Chimichurri sauce: An aromatic blend of fresh herbs and spices that enhances the alpaca's flavor profile.
  • Fresh ingredients: Organic tomatoes, crisp white onions, melted cheese, and organic lettuce complete the ensemble.
  • Exclusive side: Roasted native potatoes with a touch of Andean salt, an accompaniment that reinforces the connection with Peruvian soil.

Each bite is an explosion of carefully balanced flavors, where tradition and modernity meet in perfect harmony.
