Private jet menu for El Hierro Island

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a El Hierro Island departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenSpain

To start
Herreño Cheese & Mojo Verde Board
Aged Herreño goat's cheese sliced and arranged with a sealed ramekin of herb mojo made from local coriander and green chilli, served with toasted gofio crackers. Galley-ready, held chilled.
To start
Papas Arrugadas with Dual Mojo
Individually brined and wrinkled Canarian potatoes, portioned into a sealed tray with separate ramekins of classic red mojo picón and a smoother green mojo. A composed expression of the island's defining dish.
Cold main
Cured Atlantic Wreckfish with Pickled Fennel
Thin-sliced salt-cured wreckfish from El Hierro's coastal waters, laid over a light fennel pickle with a drizzle of cold-pressed local olive oil. Served chilled with rye bread on the side.
Hot main
Slow-Braised Herreño Goat with Thyme & Frontera Wine
Free-range goat braised for several hours with island thyme, garlic, and a reduction of Frontera white wine. Portioned and vacuum-sealed for reheating in the galley oven. Accompanied by a smooth gofio purée.
Pâtisserie
Canarian Honey & Almond Tart
A short-crust base filled with a set cream of local honey and toasted blanched almonds, finished with a dusting of cinnamon. Portioned individually and boxed for service.
Morning
Gofio Porridge with Banana & Dark Honey
Toasted gofio grain cooked to a warm, nutty porridge consistency, topped with sliced Canarian banana and a pour of dark island honey. A grounding morning preparation that travels well.

Private aviation catering at VDE

El Hierro operates at a scale that rewards patience and precision. The island's fishing communities land wreckfish and Atlantic parrotfish from waters as clean as anywhere in Spain, while smallholders cultivate the island's celebrated Frontera wines on terraced volcanic soils — produce that reaches very few tables outside the archipelago. We work with suppliers on the island and across the western Canaries to source ingredients that genuinely reflect where you are departing from. The island's Biosphere Reserve status means that quality here is structural, not aspirational. Goat's cheese aged in the traditional Herreño style, gofio milled from toasted local grains, and hand-pressed mojos built from herbs grown above the cloud line — these are the provisions we draw on when assembling a board that makes the departure as memorable as the destination.

Regional Catering Menu · El Hierro Island

El Hierro Island inflight catering

The Canarian kitchen is older and more distinctive than most visitors expect. Papas arrugadas — small potatoes boiled in heavy brine until their skins crystallise — are served across the islands, but on El Hierro they are accompanied by mojos made to family recipes that differ village by village. We translate these traditions into galley-ready formats: sealed ramekins of red and green mojo, individually wrapped wrinkled potatoes, and slow-braised goat cooked with thyme and local wine, portioned and chilled for reheating at altitude. For lighter requirements, the island's Atlantic position means excellent cured and smoked fish preparations, paired well with a restrained selection of Canarian cheeses and the volcanic-mineral white wines produced in the Frontera denomination. We build menus around the flight profile — a short hop to La Gomera calls for something quite different from a transatlantic positioning sector — and our team responds to any enquiry within ten minutes, around the clock.
