The California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) will sample a variety of innovative and sustainably sourced dairy products at the 2025 National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, Ill. May 17-20, 2025. As an exhibitor at the show, an event that brings together more than 58,000 foodservice professionals from 124 different countries, CMAB will connect with industry professionals while sharing why sourcing California dairy is a winning strategy for foodservice operators.
CMAB booth #12700 (Lakeside Hall) will feature an assortment of dairy applications including cheese, yogurt, kefir, lassi, ice cream, gelato and more. California dairy processors in attendance include Double Rainbow Ice Cream, Karoun Dairies, Leo Leo Gelato, Lifeway Foods/Glen Oaks Farms, Los Altos Food Products, Marin French Cheese Co., Marquez Brothers Foods, Mid Valley Family Foods and Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese.
“The National Restaurant Association Show presents a tremendous platform for California dairy to connect with new audiences across the hospitality and foodservice sectors,” said Mike Gallagher, Business Development Consultant of the CMAB, in a recent press release. “Renowned for its sustainability and reliability, California dairy continues to be a go-to choice for chefs and consumers worldwide. As the country’s leading dairy-producing state, California is home to an exceptional community of award-winning cheesemakers and processors, fueling innovation in the culinary space.”
California is the nation’s leading milk producer, and makes more butter, ice cream, and nonfat dry milk than any other state. California is the second-largest producer of cheese and yogurt. California milk and dairy foods can be identified by the Real California Milk seal, which certifies they are made with milk from the state’s dairy farm families.
