About Cutana
Cutana was born from two meanings.
In Loja, Ecuador, a cutana is a traditional stone kitchen tool used to grind seeds, grains, and spices — a symbol of patience, care, and transformation.
It is also the place where our founder, Arturo, was born and raised, surrounded by farmland and fresh ingredients. His parents, Vicente and Yolanda, passed on a deep respect for produce, seasonality, and hard work — values that still define Cutana today.
Arturo’s earliest memories of food come from helping his grandmother, Regina, at her market food stall in Loja. That connection to honest, handmade cooking followed him to Spain, and then to London’s most demanding kitchens.
Cutana is where that journey lands — rooted in Ecuador, shaped by Europe, and built for London.
