The Story

Red-hot charcoal; large, juicy, and delicious cuts of meat grilled over hot coals on a specially designed grill; men and women gathered around the grill, enjoying the moment with a cool drink in hand and exchanging stories. This is what "asado" stands for, the Spanish word for feast, grilled meat, or barbecue.

Our love for Asado ignited in 2010 at Guido's wedding to Manuel's sister. As is customary in Guido's home country of Argentina, an Asado was celebrated at this wedding. This experience marked the beginning of Andreas's and Manuel's shared passion for grilling.

On a trip through Argentina, we definitely became Asado aficionados, and the idea matured to bring this Argentine grilling culture to Switzerland and to construct a grill modeled after Argentine design under the brand "azado".

After ten years of development to Generation 8.0

The first prototype was followed by further versions, which in turn were put through their paces – or rather, steak and sirloin – at countless barbecues with friends and constantly improved. Now, after ten years of development and testing, the eighth generation is here. Mature, proven, and ready to conquer the grilling world, the azado puts our vision into practice: combining Swiss manufacturing quality with Argentine grilling culture.

Whether for private or professional grilling, azado has the right solution for all grilling needs. Even the crucial question "wood or gas?", which divides the global grilling world, is no longer an issue with azado. Not "either...or", but "both...and". Completely in azado style:

Both Argentine tradition – and Swiss quality.

A round of applause for the grill master!
