August 2, 2024

Under the Interprofessional Dairy Organization (InLac) from Spain, which gather all production and casts from farmers to manufacturers, with the support of the EU we are delighted to present "Discover the European Cheestories with cheeses from Spain" .

Our goal is to increase the knowledge about the benefits of our cheeses, marked by the high production standards of the European Union, enhancing their characteristics in terms of quality, flavor, traceability, food safety and animal welfare. And, at the same time, increase knowledge about the variety and diversity of cheeses from Spanish origin.

All of them are differential values that provide competitive advantages. We have 150 varieties of cheeses in Spain and some of the most renowned figures of differentiated quality, between designations of origin and geographical indications, an unrivaled gastronomic treasure well recognized by the PDO & PGI seal.

Spain exported more than 8,700 tons to the United States (worth 105 million €) having an important weight positioning itself as the third foreign market in the sector in value and the fourth in volume in this category. But its growth potential is still enormous.

InLac and the European Union will enhance the knowledge of European cheeses in a staggered manner, emphasizing communication to professionals, importers, retailers and the F&B sector.

At cheestories.eu you can find up-to-date information on cheeses, events, trade fairs and other activities relevant to American buyers and a wide collection of downloadable materials.

A very complete and diverse mix of activities are being delivered in the American market having presence in a variety of actions such as fairs, trade-hospitality collaborations, sponsor agreements, POS demos products, media actions...

The professional platfom includes a practical guide on the rules and legislation applicable to this market that importers must comply with, from the registration of establishments with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)to the labeling of these dairy foods, including regulations on additives and allergenic substances that affect them.
