Empanadas: a universal history
Mendoza-style empanadas, Argentinian empanadas, empanadas… and more empanadas. Because empanadas are part of the history of humanity.
They exist in every culture, throughout history, with different names and flavors.
From samosas in India and dumplings in China to Cornish pasties in England—some filled with meat and potato, others with apple and plum.
Fried empanadas, baked empanadas.
With or without potatoes.
With or without raisins (a great national debate).
The Mendoza-style empanada: juicy and meant to be shared
Empanadas are a symbol of simple living and celebration. They travel by hand, they are shared with the heart.
And in Mendoza, we have our own.
Juicy empanadas, filled with hand-cut beef, fresh out of the oven. The ones Cristina, our chef at Finca Adalgisa, makes are pure tradition and flavor. And of course, there are vegetarian versions too—because empanadas, like life, can be adapted to all tastes.
Empanadas, wine and shared kitchen
There’s nothing better than trying them in a cooking class, learning the gestures, the timings and the secrets,
accompanied by a glass of our Sangioveto.
Empanadas are difficult to explain: they are kneaded, baked, and shared.
And that’s where their magic lies.
