FOODSPECIALITEITEN 2026

ICEX Spain Trade and Investment presents Foodspecialiteiten 2026—an immersive celebration of Spanish gastronomy and culinary excellence, taking place at the Evenementenhal Gorichem.

At Foodspecialiteiten, the award-winning cheeses from the Cheese From Spain Awards will be promoted through a shared tasting station managed by an ICEX expert.

This institutional action, organized by ICEX España Exportación e Inversiones, is part of one of the most important events for promoting the Spanish agri-food sector in The Netherlands.

Visitors — including importers, distributors, HoReCa professionals, and opinion leaders — will be invited to sample the cheeses while receiving expert guidance and product information, all within a dynamic and immersive tasting format.

This initiative offers high-impact visibility in a key Central European market known for its appreciation of premium dairy products.

The Cheesemakers' Guild has also done a digital promotion on the following web page! https://www.kaasgilde.nl/uncategorized/spaanse_kaas_awards_2026/
