The Cheese and Dairy Products Show will return to Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from June 7 to 9, while Gourmet Selection takes over Pavilion 7.2 on June 7 and 8. Organizers have paired the two events to offer a complete immersion in the dairy and gourmet sectors. The shows are designed as a bridge between industries, allowing visitors to access both venues with a single badge.
Visitors holding a pass for one event gain entry to the other, creating a cohesive experience across both locations. The merger reflects a market shift where the lines between cheese, dairy, and gourmet products are becoming increasingly blurred. Producers, affineurs, cheesemongers, and retailers can meet in a single space to facilitate business exchanges.
Consumer expectations are guiding this dynamic, favoring quality, origin, and authenticity. The fine foods sector is confirming its appeal as people adopt products with meaning. This trend resonates with the cheese world, which is also rooted in expertise and high-value-added products.

At a time when business travel budgets are scrutinized, holding both shows simultaneously offers time savings and efficiency. Professionals can deepen their cheese expertise while broadening their awareness of gourmet food trends in one trip. The combined venue streamlines the process of identifying new suppliers and market opportunities.
Market Trends and Product Pairings
The Cheese and Dairy Products Show will feature 300 exhibitors from 15 countries. The list includes international participants showcasing cheeses from around the world, dairy specialties, equipment, and services. Gourmet Selection complements this view with a curated selection of gourmet products such as honeys, condiments, jams, specialty breads, crackers, and wines.
This combination allows professionals to explore product pairings that shape today’s gastronomic experience. Retailers and foodservice operators can imagine combinations between aged cheeses and gourmet delicacies to enhance their menus. The event provides insights into innovation and excellence, helping businesses anticipate market trends.
Several exhibitors at Gourmet Selection are expected to highlight this commitment to quality and creativity. Companies such as Muroise et Compagnie, Maison Lucie, La Cour d’Orgères, and Evootrade will showcase products that align with these themes.

Organizers emphasize that the convergence creates value by linking distinct product categories. A visitor might walk through a dairy hall and immediately see how a specific cheese pairs with a jam or a bread from the adjacent pavilion. This physical proximity encourages spontaneous discovery and experimentation that static trade shows often miss.
While the schedule is packed with networking opportunities, the physical logistics of moving between venues—located just across the hall from each other—could become a minor distraction for some attendees. The ability to filter exhibitor lists by category on the official website helps reduce the time spent walking between unrelated stands.
