SPECIALITY AND FINE FOOD FAIR 2024

ICEX Spain Trade and Investment (ICEX) and the Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA), are setting up a gastronomic area, as part of the #SpainFoodNation campaign, within the Spanish group stand organised by FIAB (the Spanish Food and Drink Federation) at the forthcoming Speciality and Fine Food Fair, which runs from 10th to 11th September.

The area will be used for tastings of Spanish products and educational sessions for visitors to the show: ‘Spanish Aperitivo’, with chef Omar Allibhoy presenting products from Spanish exhibitors at the show; ‘Understanding anchovies’, with Spanish importer Mevalco; a tasting of products from the northern region of Asturias, hosted by Asturex; an Iberico ham masterclass, hosted by ASICI; and a tasting of the winners of the ‘Cheese from Spain’ Awards.

Also, two importers of Spanish products will join us during both days of the fair, Mevalco and Ultracomida, showcasing the best of their portfolio in the UK: cheeses, tinned fish, charcuterie, and much more.

Taking place annually at Olympia London, the Fair is a hub of inspiration for the artisan food & drink world and is a fantastic opportunity to hear and learn from top retail specialists, industry disruptors and entrepreneurs.

Hundreds of fine food & drink suppliers, from the big names in the industry to your small local producers, exhibit at the Speciality and Fine Food Fair, along with innovative start-up businesses that are tipped to be the next market disruptors.
