👨🏽🍳Agustín Mallmann is our Brand Ambassador.
Carne Collective is thrilled to announce that this spring, we signed a deal with Agustin Mallmann to become the first brand ambassador and executive chef for our beef subscription box company! This is great news for all consumers who love to buy our grass-fed beef from Argentina.
If the name Mallmann sounds familiar, it’s probably because Agustin is the nephew of legendary Argentine Chef Francis Mallmann, who was prominently featured on Netflix’s Chef’s Table series highlighting his mastery of primal style cooking over an open fire.
Born in Santa Barbara, California, Agustin spent a number of years traveling with his famous uncle, working at his restaurants in Argentina and Uruguay and learning different cooking techniques at each one, and participating in the Netflix documentary and other special events. It was through these experiences that the younger Chef Mallmann found the style of cooking that he most identifies with: fire. Mallmann loves cooking with fire because it is “Simple and yet so profound.”
When approached to work with Carne Collective, Chef Mallmann was attracted to the fact that the brand is creating greater awareness for the amazing beef product available in Argentina. “I also think it is great that any of the beef selections can be prepared for a customer and sent to their home anywhere in the United States.”
Mallmann adds that he is inspired by Argentine beef because it is authentic, simple, and tasty. “Argentine beef does not need to be marinated or ‘dressed up’ to taste good. All you need is some firewood, sea salt, and pepper to enjoy a nice steak.”
