Aruba’s culinary scene has flourished in recent years, and the focus on supporting local production is important, not only to make Aruba a culinary destination but also to foster the growth of businesses and the community itself. Through strategic collaborations with local farmers, producers, and chefs, the Infini restaurant works to elevate the gastronomic experience and further serve as a bridge for local production to continue thriving.
Aruba is a tapestry of flavors, and Infini proudly celebrates the island’s rich heritage through its commitment to locally sourced ingredients and community partnerships. By collaborating with prominent suppliers such as Farm A Cure Fungi, Happy Ponics Foundation, Petite Greens, William Jansen Bacon, T2 Pan, Ceramics by Rani, STR Agriculture Farm Aruba, Diano Foods, and Aruba Farms, Infini not only ensures exceptional quality but also supports the local economy.
Infini’s menu is a testament to the seamless integration of these local ingredients. From the earthy aroma of Farm A Cure Fungi’s gourmet mushrooms to the delicate crunch of Petite Greens’ microgreens, each bite tells a story of Aruba’s culinary diversity. By showcasing these local flavors, Infini not only supports the island’s farmers but also offers diners an authentic taste and quality.
With a focus on sustainability, Chef Urvin has sought to partner with suppliers like STR Agriculture Farm Aruba, Happy Ponics Foundation, and Aruba Farms, who prioritize eco-friendly practices such as hydroponics and organic farming.
