Private jet catering at Tazadit with Chef Kenji Haddad

For aviation catering at OUZ, we coordinate through the locally embedded culinary team in Zouérate, which executes Kenji's menu frameworks and plating standards under remote quality oversight. The Tazadit platform sees a mix of industrial charter traffic and occasional private positioning flights; notice periods vary, and PPR requirements mean we confirm kitchen slots only after handling clearance comes through. One product that travels reliably from this region is slow-braised lamb shoulder with date purée, vacuum-sealed while warm and reheated in a standard galley oven. It holds structure through turbulence and tastes consistent whether served two hours or six hours into a westbound leg toward the Canaries or Dakar.

Background

Chef Lucia Costa brings refined culinary artistry to private aviation with over fifteen years of experience in luxury hospitality. Her expertise lies in crafting elegant, seasonally-inspired menus that balance sophistication with the practical demands of high-altitude dining.

How to order private jet catering for OUZ departures

The aircraft galley dictates portioning, tray count, and whether meals are plated individually or served family-style. Lead time for a standard order is twenty-four hours; shorter notice is accommodated where production slots allow. To order private jet catering, send your departure time, passenger count, and any dietary restrictions; you receive a private jet catering quote within two hours. Crew meals are added to the same order and delivered together. Late changes are absorbed where the kitchen preparing your order has not yet begun final plating.

Jet catering Zouérate – kitchen facilities and preparation

When cabin configuration dictates format, the kitchen preparing your order for OUZ adapts service style to match what the aircraft can actually accommodate. Business aviation catering here is built around flexibility: individual trays sealed after plating for tight galleys, family-style platters when the cabin allows shared service, and portioning adjusted per seat count and trolley fit. Each menu is timed against your departure slot, cooked same-day in a dedicated facility with cold-chain control from sealing to handover. Pâtisserie and garde-manger posts work independently to maintain pace. Private jet catering is documented at every stage—allergen protocol on every label, temperature logs maintained throughout, and formats confirmed with your crew before final assembly. You specify the service approach; the kitchen matches capacity and packaging to what your galley and schedule require.

High loader capacity is confirmed at the time of order for larger cabin types serving galley doors at height.

Seasonal produce sourced near Zouérate
Inflight catering — Mauritania

Inflight catering Zouérate – sourcing and seasonal identity

Zouérate sits in Mauritania's mining heartland, where the culinary identity leans on Saharan staples and oasis produce. We use local sourcing to bring dates, lamb, root vegetables, and aromatic spices—cumin, coriander, cinnamon—into private jet catering menus that reflect the region's flavour profile without theatrics. Suppliers deliver early morning; greens and herbs are trimmed and washed the same day, meat is portioned and seared to order, and bread dough is shaped in-house. Seasonal shifts are narrow but real: winter brings heartier stews, summer favours chilled grain salads and lighter proteins. The approach is direct: source close, prepare fresh, pack with care. You'll taste the difference in a lamb tagine that hasn't been reheated three times or a salad that still has snap when it reaches the cabin. Local sourcing also shortens lead times, which matters when flight plans change and you need a revised manifest by mid-afternoon.
