2026.02.03

During the last years, the Fagor Professional Food Service team has made a significant commitment to bring prominent figures from the food industry into its lines, in order to continue growing with even more demanding culinary standards.

Najat Kaanache shares the same passion for the food industry as Fagor Professional Food Service. Both figures have found many commonalities that have created a solid collaboration focused on innovation and excellence.

Najat is one of the most influential female personalities in Africa and is undoubtedly the leading gastronomic reference and ambassador of the Moroccan cuisine worldwide.

Her life has been profoundly marked by two cultures.

Her parents arrived in Orio (Guipúzcoa, Spain) seeking a better future and consequently, Najat was born and raised there. Najat admits that she wanted to be an actress and went to the Netherlands to pursue that dream. She started making pintxos to earn a living and discovered that cooking was her true passion.

Before embarking on her own adventure with Nur, her own restaurant, she worked in some of the most renowned kitchens in Europe and the USA: Noma (Copenhagen), The French Laundry (California), Alinea (Chicago), Per Se (New York), and El Bulli (Spain).

Her career is an absolute inspiration to emerging professionals in the field and living proof that a unique talent and very hard work can lead to great success.

Her restaurant, Nur, described as a magical palace in the of the medina's labyrinth, has allowed prominent figures like Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise to enjoy unique experiences thanks to the unparalleled character of its cuisine.

"This was the heart of Andalusí, where the finest delicacies were created. Here, the cuisine is mountain-inspired, full of spices, made with love and by women."

Fagor Professional Food Service welcomes Najat and proves with this collaboration that the brand's relentless effort to excel and offer quality equipment has resulted in conquering the best kitchens of the world.

Thanks to this connection between the brand and the chef, Fagor Professional Food Service is preparing its infrastructure to continue offering the most reliable and robust equipment. Its equipment, in addition to being strategically designed, is foolproof and meets the demands of the most discerning culinary sector.
