Cacio e Pepe Day: When simplicity meets Capitani Pasta Maker’s production technology

On November 14th, we celebrate Cacio e Pepe Day: a feast dedicated to one of the most iconic dishes in Italian culinary tradition, which is a perfect combination of pasta, pecorino cheese and black pepper embodying authenticity, prime quality ingredients and artisanal know-how.

For us here at Capitani Pasta Maker, who have been designing and manufacturing machinery for dry and fresh pasta production for over 45 years, this celebration is much more than a gastronomic occasion. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the role of technology in enhancing tradition: because behind every perfect Cacio e Pepe dish lies a production process that must ensure the right shape, texture, roughness and firmness of pasta.

Capitani Pasta Maker’s solutions are designed to support companies that aim for high standards of quality and productivity, while preserving the ability to tell an authentic story. In the case of Cacio e Pepe, for example, pasta is often produced in formats such as tonnarelli, bucatini, or hand-rolled spaghetti. This means that the machinery must guarantee proper extrusion, uniform structure and the ideal surface to hold the sauce firm.

This day is also a reminder of the importance of the entire supply chain: from grain to semolina, from the die to the drying line, every step contributes to the final result. With our solutions, we accompany our clients in the continuous improvement of their production systems by offering performance, flexibility, and reliability: key factors in enhancing a distinctive product like Cacio e Pepe.

If you’d like to learn more about how Capitani Pasta Maker’s machines can support the pasta industry, even in the creation of special formats designed for symbolic recipes such as Cacio e Pepe, feel free to get in touch with us. We’ll be happy to arrange a meeting and show you our latest innovations.

Host Fair 2025 makes its debut in Saudi Arabia

Host, the international trade fair dedicated to equipment and solutions for the horeca sector with Capitani also among its exhibitors, has announced an important update for the 2025 edition.

In addition to the traditional event at Rho Fiera Milano, Host will make its debut in Saudi Arabia, featuring a dedicated area designed to replicate the success of the Italian show for the Middle Eastern market.

The decision to organize a parallel edition in Riyadh represents a strategic move to strengthen the Host brand’s presence in emerging markets, capitalizing on the region’s growing investments in hospitality and hotel infrastructure. The goal is to meet local demand and attract international exhibitors, further reinforcing the fair’s global positioning.

How will the edition be structured?

• Rho Fiera Milano (October 17–21): confirms its established role as a hub for Italian and European suppliers, operators and professionals.
• Riyadh (Saudi Arabia): the new venue will host the same range of exhibitors and formats, tailored to the needs of the Middle Eastern market and with a focus on technology, innovation and sustainability.

The dual location offers manufacturers the opportunity to showcase their solutions simultaneously in two strategic markets, optimizing promotional and logistical investments. For visitors, it will be a unique chance to access global solutions, engage in international networking and discover cutting-edge trends.

Host 2025 thus reaffirms itself as a key event for horeca operators, breaking beyond European borders and contributing to the global growth of the hospitality industry.

Capitani will be at Rho Fiera Milano, find us at Stand E11 F12, Pavilion 4P: we look forward to welcoming you and sharing our latest innovations.
