The carver

What the asador is to the fire,the cortador is to the jamón.

Marcel Speidel is a certified cortador and asador. He has lived in Uruguay since October 2026 and brings his own stand and knives to every event.

He opens the leg in front of the guests, carves by hand and serves plate by plate. People come over, watch, ask, taste. The carving is part of the party.

A table in José Ignacio, a winery in Canelones, an office in Montevideo: Marcel goes wherever people want to eat well.

The moment

The jamón becomes the meeting point.

Marcel carves, the guests watch. People stand together, talk, taste and come back for another slice. A second centre forms in the middle of the party.

At an aperitif by the sea, at a long table in the winery, at a wedding, a company reception or at home with friends.
