Jaime Pesaque and Fagor Professional: A Partnership that Celebrates Culinary Excellence

2026.07.16

At Fagor Professional, we are proud to announce the appointment of Jaime Pesaque as our new brand ambassador. This collaboration brings together two industry leaders who share the same vision: a passion for excellence, continuous innovation, and a strong commitment to advancing professional gastronomy.

To speak of Jaime Pesaque is to speak of one of the most influential figures in contemporary Peruvian cuisine. Born and trained in Peru, he further refined his culinary expertise in some of Europe's most prestigious kitchens, working at renowned restaurants in Spain and Italy, including MICHELIN-starred establishments. This unique combination of Peruvian heritage and international experience has become one of the defining characteristics of his culinary identity.

In 2008, he founded Mayta, the restaurant that would become the flagship expression of his culinary vision. Since then, the project has evolved into one of the most acclaimed restaurants in Latin America and the world. Mayta entered the Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2019, received the Highest Climber Award in 2020, and later earned a place in the prestigious The World's 50 Best Restaurants ranking. Today, it continues to hold a prominent position among the finest restaurants in Latin America.

Jaime Pesaque's cuisine is distinguished by its deep connection to Peru's extraordinary biodiversity, its respect for local ingredients, and its contemporary interpretation of the country's rich culinary traditions. His work has played a significant role in showcasing Peru's gastronomic heritage on the global stage, establishing him as one of the country's foremost culinary ambassadors.

This combination of tradition, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of excellence is precisely what naturally aligns Jaime Pesaque with the philosophy of Fagor Professional. For decades, we have been committed to developing solutions that enable chefs and foodservice operators around the world to achieve the highest levels of performance in their kitchens by providing reliable, efficient, and future-ready equipment designed to meet the demands of an ever-evolving industry.

The appointment of Jaime Pesaque as a Fagor Professional ambassador represents far more than a partnership between a brand and a chef. It is the union of two organizations that believe in the power of knowledge, creativity, and continuous improvement. Two shared visions of gastronomy driven by the same ambition: to shape the future of professional kitchens and contribute to the growth of an increasingly demanding and global foodservice industry.

The entire Fagor Professional team is delighted to welcome Jaime Pesaque to our family. We are confident that this partnership will continue to inspire professionals across the industry while strengthening our commitment to culinary excellence in every market where we operate.
