Asamodo was founded in 2022 by Raid Gharib. During his stays in Peru and Brazil, he discovered the cultural and culinary diversity of South America. He later discovered the magic of asado as a culinary cultural heritage—and fell in love with the passion of this special form of grilling, which is still celebrated today in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay.

Inspired by the social value of an asado, he set himself the goal of making asado better known in Germany, Europe, and throughout the world. Here in Europe, asado is still largely unknown. And what’s more: there was also a lack of suitable grills. 

So Raid decided to forge his own path. He developed a Santa Maria grill according to his own ideas (and his customers’ wishes) and decided to manufacture it entirely in Germany: inspired by the gauchos, conceived by a visionary, and built and produced to German standards of quality.

The result: The Brasa! One of the most robust Santa Maria grills on the market. The distinctive, clean design, the modular platform-based construction, and a clear mission make Asamodo more than just a company. Asamodo is a brand with one goal: to make asado an experience available worldwide.

In the meantime, additional grills have been developed to fulfill this mission: the XXL Asado grill "Cube", the "Brasa Corten" and the "Maquina" – a cage for grilling whole cows. 

Raid summarizes his vision in very personal words:  "For me, Asado means more than just the perfect grill – Asado is always a shared experience. We never grill just for ourselves, but take the time to enjoy and share moments with our friends and family. And it is wonderful to see how Asamodo manages to completely reinvent family gatherings and celebrations. That makes me happy and proud!"
