California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) is making a play to showcase all the California dairy providers bring to the table as it takes to this year’s National Restaurant Association show in Chicago, Illinois. Later this month, the organization will hit the show to spotlight a variety of innovative and sustainably sourced dairy products.
“The National Restaurant Association show is a fantastic opportunity for California dairy to reach new audiences within the hospitality and foodservice industries. California is a reliable, consistent source of sustainable dairy products used by chefs and enjoyed by consumers throughout the world,” said John Talbot, Chief Executive Officer of the CMAB. “As the nation’s largest dairy state, California boasts an impressive lineup of award-winning cheesemakers and dairy processors that are helping to drive dining innovation.”
According to a press release, the event brings together more than 51,000 foodservice professionals from 112 different countries and represents over 900 product categories, allowing CMAB to connect with industry professionals while sharing all that California dairy has to offer. During the show, the organization will highlight an assortment of dairy applications through sampling including cheese, kefir, ice cream, gelato, and a whey-based spirit.
Some California dairy processors in attendance will include Bellwether Farms, California Dairies Inc., Crystal Creamery, DiStefano Cheese, Double Rainbow, Lifeway, Marin French Cheese Co., Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co., Rizo Lopez Foods, Villa Dolce Gelato, and Wheyward Spirit.
Attendees can learn more about products made with milk from California dairy families by making a visit to CMAB’s booth #9802, come May 20–23.
