Granarolo, a global protagonist in exhibitions
From Lyon to Las Vegas, passing through Tuttofood in Milan, concluding with Cologne and Shanghai
Granarolo is aiming for international growth through participation throughout 2025 in some of the most important national and international fairs, to promote its quality products in the name of innovation.
The group will present the most distinctive product ranges and innovations in its portfolio, the result of the valorization of the milk supply chain, characterized by the search for high standards of service, safety and quality and linked to the new consumer trends and the needs of consumers who are no longer just Italian, with the aim of contributing to the strengthening of its competitive positioning in Italy and abroad, with a particular focus on Europe and the Americas.
The protagonists will be excellent cheeses and Italian dairy specialties, both for fresh cheeses, especially those of the Apulian tradition, where the most important novelty will be the presentation of the new production center in Gioia del Colle (BA), and for hard and PDO cheeses such as Parmigiano Reggiano, Gorgonzola and goat cheeses. Granarolo recently won 10 medals at the 36th edition of the World Cheese Awards (worldcheeseawards.com), one of the most important global events dedicated to cheese that was held in Viseu, Portugal, where producers, retailers, buyers and food critics from all over the world came together to judge 4,786 cheeses from 47 countries.
At the moment, there are 10 confirmed events that will see the participation of Granarolo throughout 2025 all over the world: Winter Fancy Food - Las Vegas (USA), 19-21 January; Sirha - Lyon (France) 23 - 27 January; Gulfood - Dubai (United Arab Emirates) 17-21 February; Tuttofood - Milan (Italy) 5-8 May; Plma - Amsterdam (Netherlands) 20-21 May; Iddba - New Orleans (USA), 1-3 June; Icda - Staffordshire (UK), 25-26 June; Summer Fancy Food - New York (USA), 29 June–1 July; Anuga - Cologne (Germany), 4-8 October; Fhc – Shanghai Global Food Trade Show, Shanghai (China) 12-14 November.
