Last week, industry professionals gathered at Vera Versilia, Kempinski Hotels Mall of the Emirates, for the Italian Culinary Showcase—an event marking 15 years of partnership of Casinetto (one of the leading Horeca foodservice distributors in the UAE) with Caputo, a collaboration that began in 2010 with a shared goal: bringing authentic Italian ingredients to the UAE.
What started as a product-driven commitment has evolved into a broader mission to support chefs and Horeca professionals in preserving and advancing the art of Italian cuisine. The showcase brought together key players from the foodservice industry for live demonstrations, hands-on tastings, and an immersive experience highlighting the quality, performance, and versatility of Caputo flours.
Beyond the technical focus on flour, the event emphasized tradition, craftsmanship, and the culinary techniques that have shaped Italian cooking for generations. These values are increasingly relevant in a global market where authenticity and consistency are critical differentiators.
The 2025 edition of the showcase carried particular significance. Italy’s culinary tradition was recently recognized by UNESCO as the world’s first national gastronomic tradition to receive Intangible Cultural Heritage status. The designation underscores the importance of safeguarding authentic ingredients, traditional methods, and the cultural knowledge embedded in Italian cuisine.
As Caputo’s official distributor in the UAE, Casinetto reaffirmed its commitment to carrying this legacy forward. The partnership reflects a shared understanding that premium products extend beyond technical specifications: they are built on trust, consistency, and long-term relationships. Together, both partners continue to play an active role in delivering authentic Italian excellence to chefs and professionals who value heritage as much as performance.
