Long‑burning charcoal – Quebracho Blanco
The art of South American barbecue
In South America, cooking meat over embers is a genuine tradition. The worldwide reputation of their grilling rests as much on the quality of the livestock as on the charcoal used.
Quebracho Blanco charcoal (nicknamed quiebra hacha, or “axe‑breaker”) comes from very hard, tannin‑rich wood. It is known for its slow, steady burn, offering up to 3 hours of active embers. Ideal for professional chefs and enthusiasts seeking consistent, long‑lasting heat.
