In Argentina, an asado is much more than simply preparing food. It is one of the country’s most important traditions. It is a moment where family and friends gather, open a good bottle of wine and spend time together.

At Las Loicas, the asado is an important part of life at the estancia and closely connected to the culture of Patagonia and the Argentine countryside. Meat is slowly cooked over wood and coals, often for several hours, while everyone gathers around the fire waiting, talking and enjoying the atmosphere together.

Depending on the occasion and the season, we may prepare different cuts of meat or a traditional Patagonian cordero (lamb), slowly roasting over the fire. Together with local wines, fresh salads from the garden and the setting of the estancia, it becomes much more than a meal.
