Ordering a private jet menu for Anta means starting with the altitude: at 9,097 ft the cabin and the guests both feel the thin air, and the inflight menu should be lighter than a sea-level one. Local specialities from the Ancash Region and the surrounding Peruvian sierra give that lightness without losing identity.
Trout from highland lakes arrives as fillets, with the sauce apart and a simple finish in the oven. Quinoa, choclo, potatoes in several colours and fresh cheese are the base of the private jet food we pack here: they are stable cold, forgiving when reheated, and easy to portion by seat. A ceviche plate is built chilled, the marinade in its own pot, to be dressed by the crew just before serving.
For a long dwell or a long onward sector, hot mains such as lomo saltado or an aji de gallina are boxed with the garnish separate and a label for the oven. Private jet platters of local cheeses, tamales and fruit double as gourmet inflight meals for a quick turn, and private jet snacks, toasted corn, nuts, dried fruit, stay in the galley for the whole trip. Each local speciality is tagged by service so the cabin crew can follow it without questions.
