As part of its commitment to fostering the next generation of culinary talents and making the world a better place through food, the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy created a unique learning experience for Freitas, following his victory as the best young chef in the world. The initiative exemplifies how the Academy connects rising talent with the world's most renowned chefs, offering unparalleled opportunities for growth.

Where the Pacific Ocean meets the coast and the Andes stand tall in the backdrop, what begins is more than just professional training. It's a journey through the entire local gastronomic ecosystem created by Virgilio Martinez, along with Pia León – Best Female Chef 2021 and Virgilio's life partner – and Malena Martinez – Virgilio's sister and co-creator of Mater, the multidisciplinary research center that nurtures all of Virgilio's and Pía's projects. Through the lens of gastronomy, Freitas is invited to grasp the true essence of "Afuera Hay Más" – the motto of Mater. This philosophy is an invitation to step outside the confines of the kitchen, embracing themes of inspiration, knowledge, and the relentless pursuit of excellence in a path made of multiple encounters. Local producers, ceramic artists, farmers, biologists and many more, each one offering a unique opportunity for Freitas to elevate his culinary vision and become a better chef.

Under Martinez's wing, and working in the kitchens of both Central and Kjolle, as well as travelling to Mil in Cusco, Freitas learns how to push creative boundaries and infuse meaning into every dish. "Afuera Hay Más" captures the deep connection between mentor and mentee. Virgilio Martinez shares his thoughts: "Mentorship is about more than just sharing skills in the kitchen; it's about sharing a vision of the world. I take it as both an honor and a big responsibility to share our philosophy and values with younger chefs like Nelson. His dedication and passion remind me of the importance of contributing to the learning paths of younger generations."

And as the culmination of his mentorship journey, young chef Freitas has been hired by Virgilio Martinez to join the staff at his renowned restaurant, Central. In the end, this is not just a story of two chefs, but a celebration of the transformative power of mentorship exploration, and the endless pursuit of growth, both professionally and personally. Freitas reflects on the impact of this experience: "Working with Virgilio Martinez helped me realise that there's so much more to learn, not just in the kitchen, but in life. Stepping out of the kitchen doesn't just mean leaving the stoves to explore other places. It primarily means engaging with other realities, other people, other cultures, and allowing oneself to be involved. It means changing one's perspective on things. Becoming today part of his team is a dream come true. The S.Pellegrino Young Chef Academy project has been life-changing and opened doors I never imagined. I'll always be thankful for this opportunity."

"Afuera Hay Más – A Young Chef's Journey" will be available for streaming from 23 September on Prime Video in France, Italy, Spain, Peru, the UK and the US. The production is a result of a collaboration with YAM112003, a creative agency and production company based in Milan, Italy, and a trusted partner of Sanpellegrino.
