In the making · The craft
Burger Castello sources directly from the town butcher, building a short supply chain that guarantees freshness and a tie to the Abruzzo territory.
Cooking the smash burger involves pressing the ball of meat onto the scorching griddle, triggering the Maillard reaction that creates the characteristic caramelised crust.
Preparations such as guacamole and sauces start from fresh ingredients worked in the kitchen, keeping flavour and genuineness in every part of the sandwich.
