Cibus, the major professional show for authentic Italian food products, is ready to come back to Parma on April 10-11. Cibus Connect, Cibus’s smart edition that runs in all odd-numbered years, returns with its simplified formula and lay-out allowing a more efficient visiting experience. Organized by Fiere di Parma, in collaboration with Federalimentare (The Association of the Italian Food & Beverage Industries), Cibus Connect opens on the last day of Vinitaly, Verona’s international wine show, allowing international food &wine buyers to follow both capital trade shows.
CIBUS CONNECT: WHAT’S ON DISPLAY
Two exhibition halls, one dedicated to grocery and the other to fresh products, over 1,000 food companies will present the best Made in Italy food products: from pasta to canned tomatoes, oil and confectionery, coffee and seasonings, to beverages, frozen foods and ready meals. Without forgetting fresh products such as meat and cured meats, cheese, fresh and ultra fresh and gastronomy. Cibus Connect booths will also offer PDO and PGI Italian products that are so appreciated on all continents. Without forgetting typical and regional products chosen and promoted by Slow Food association, healthy food products and hundreds of new products to be launched on the market in the next few months.
VISITING ITALY’S FOOD VALLEY
One of the reasons for Cibus Connect’s success is the presence of an area of over 50 cooking stations installed in both halls. Famous chefs will cook the exhibitors’ products to offer the buyers’ the best possible tastings. Along with Verona’s wine show Vinitaly, the show is to bring to Parma – thanks to the collaboration with Italian Trade Agency-ICE Agenzia – hundreds of international top buyers. They will have the opportunity to visit the production sites of many Made in Italy food products in the Parma area’s Food Valley.
