Mato Grosso is cattle country, and the private jet menu for Barra do Garças starts there: grilled picanha, carne de sol and rice with pequi, a Cerrado fruit with a strong smell and a stone that has to be warned about on the label. The inflight menu follows what the Araguaia river gives: pintado and tambaqui, packed as private jet food that tolerates a reheat in a small galley oven.
The local specialities travel in three groups. Private jet platters carry cured and grilled meats, fresh cheese and fruit such as cupuaçu, acerola and mango in season. Gourmet inflight meals use the river fish and regional beef, finished on board in the oven or re-plated cold. Private jet snacks are pão de queijo, tapioca crepes and castanha from the Cerrado, easy to hand around a light cabin on a short leg out of Mato Grosso.
A private jet menu for Mato Grosso works best when it is simple and regional. We plan the inflight menu around beef, rice, beans and river fish, with farofa and vinaigrette in separate pots. The private jet food from Barra do Garças is local specialities first, then the dietary notes of each passenger.
Barra do Garças is a river town, so the local specialities lean on freshwater fish, manioc and beef. Our private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks all keep that line, with each dish labelled by seat and by how it finishes in the galley.
