CULINARY
CURATED CULINARY EXPERIENCES
Our kitchen and Patisserie team consists of knowledge and experience combined with youthful innovation and enthusiasm. We let ourselves and our dishes be inspired internationally and have mastered the flavors from cultures beyond our own national borders. At the same time, the team is proud of its’ region and its’ local products - working closely with local butchers, farms & cultivators.
FARM TO TABLE
Fowl and their eggs, such as the milk for our ice creams and wedding cakes, are sourced from local farms. For fruits and vegetables we let ourselves be guided by the seasons, and freshwater fish & shellfish are caught regionally. Our registered vinologist not only proposes suitable wines for the culinary interpretation of your day, but the Castello also has its own wines made from our own vineyard. This versatility combined with limitless creativity makes us unique in who we are.
