Last week Wednesday the 13th of March, the Casa de Campo hotel was proud to receive the recognition of “Best Hotel of the South-East” by Cristal, the world leader in the implementation of effective systems for environmental, health and safety related risk management.
This award is from Cristal of “Best Hotel of the South-East” is a special interest because it does not relate to the resorts phenomenal sporting facilities, magnificent hotel rooms and glorious setting – but rather the resort’s excellence in food hygiene and general safety for all guests – something which other awards can overlook.
In 2011, a more than 12 million dollar investment was made in the Casa de Campo hotel kitchen facility – ensuring the resort food services are not only safe and hygienic but also the very best quality. The facility includes: a 3 stage cleaning process, an extensive food storage facility which boasts 20 walk-in refrigerators, the almacen (store rooms) – where all non perishable items, such as ketchup, cookies, beer, canned goods etc are kept, as well a giant wine cooler and flash-freezing ‘chill-blast’ refrigerator. And with a strict production line system, which ensures all products; eggs, poultry, meat, fish, vegetables and non-perishables are unpacked and stored separately, the Casa de Campo kitchen is able to prevent cross-contamination, with items such as meat being flash-frozen and vacuum packed – which keeps the food fresh and safe for 15 days.
The award was presented by Persia Álvarez, Caribbean Director of Check First (Cristal) to Daniel Hernandez, General Manager of the Casa de Campo Hotel and Phillip Bucher, Director of Food and Beverages in the presence of many other Casa de Campo employees; Ana Teresa Florian assistant to Phillip Bucher and Juan Peña Executive Chef, who were proud to receive this recognition for all their hard work and dedication.
