"We chose to take part in the show to shine a spotlight on our 'Bleu des Causses AOP Fermier lait cru' sector (raw milk PDO farmhouse Causses blue cheese). The Cheese and Dairy Products show is the ideal platform for supporting our producers in a process that has called for exceptional commitment on their part. It is an opportunity for them to showcase their passion and dedication, and we're proud to be supporting them in this adventure." M. Chaumat, Chairman of the ODG Bleu de Causes
Chantal de Lamotte, Show Director: "The aim is to ensure professionals are satisfied over the 3 days of the show, which is a cocktail of opportunities for new encounters, for doing business, learning about new professional practices, and tasting an explosion of flavours. This event is emblematic of the industry; it's this celebration of know-how in a friendly atmosphere that makes the world of cheese and dairy products so fascinating. The Fédération des Fromagers de France, the CNIEL and the CNAOL will also be taking part, hosting events and interacting with the industry. Between the International Agriculture Show and the Cheese and Dairy Products Show, the agricultural world will be converging on Paris in February 2024."
