Inflight Catering · Espargos

Inflight catering for Espargos flights

Cape Verde's food culture reflects its position at the crossroads of Africa, Portugal, and the Atlantic. On Sal, that means fresh yellowfin tuna and wahoo landed at the island's fishing quay, salt-cured in the island's own saltpans — the same flats that gave Sal its name — and goat raised on the island's sparse interior pastures. These are not background details; they are what your order is built from. The island's distance from continental supply chains shapes how we work at SID. We source through a network calibrated to Sal's availability: Atlantic fish, local chevre-style cheese, tropical fruit from Santiago and São Vicente, and provisions drawn in from Praia or São Pedro when a departure's scope demands it. Every order is composed around what is genuinely fresh, not what travels farthest.

Regional Catering Menu · Espargos

Espargos private jet catering

Cachupa — Cape Verde's slow-cooked stew of hominy, legumes, and fish or meat — is the archipelago's defining dish and translates well to a warm galley option on longer legs departing SID. Grilled wahoo, line-caught off Sal's Atlantic coast, plates cleanly as a cold main or a chilled protein course. Salt from Pedra de Lume, harvested from Sal's ancient volcanic crater, finishes composed dishes with a provenance your passengers can actually place on a map. For sweet courses, papaya and mango from the southern islands, delivered to Espargos the same day, need little intervention.
