El Fogón de Cherquén
In 2008 the "Fogón de Cherquen" was born thanks to the meeting of diverse professionals from the areas of gastronomy, engineering and anthropology, who together decided to undertake a life project that involves the development of environmentally and socially sustainable production activities, being the elaboration of jams and chili pastes under the brands of "Fogón de Cherquén" and "Ají Furia del Llaima", a good example of this when incorporating oral tradition to the standardization of recipes, by using raw materials from the territory and giving value to those that are native, and involve neighbors through fair treatment and real appreciation of work
