Diego Schattenhofer has become one of the most prominent chefs in Spain. Recently awarded a Michelin star and a Repsol Sun in 2024, Schattenhofer is the Executive Chef of Villa Cortés and 1973 Taste Restaurant.

The Magic of Matured Goat Meat: An Evolution Through Interdisciplinary Scientific Research

His professional success is reflected in his growing popularity on Instagram, where he has nearly 3,000 followers, given the growing general interest in the scientific culinary research work in which he is immersed.

What sets Schattenhofer apart is his culinary innovation. He is currently collaborating on a book that explores the use of matured goat meat, a project that promises to revolutionise traditional Canarian cuisine, together with, and soon, Marichu Fresno, the ICIA team, Diego Schattenhofer and Taste 1973.
