From 7 to 9 June 2026, the Salon du Fromage et des Produits Laitiers 2026 will take place at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, bringing together all stakeholders from the dairy and cheese sector. At the same time, on 7 and 8 June 2026, Gourmet Selection 2026 will be held in Pavilion 7.2 at the same venue.
This simultaneous organisation will offer visitors a unique opportunity to explore, in a single trip, two closely connected worlds: cheese and dairy products, and the universe of fine foods and premium gourmet products. The Salon du Fromage et des Produits Laitiers badge will also grant access to Gourmet Selection, enabling a broader and more seamless visitor experience.
A strategic meeting point at the heart of evolving consumer trends
The simultaneous staging of the Salon du Fromage et des Produits Laitiers and Gourmet Selection reflects a strong sectoral logic: bringing together two complementary worlds that contribute to shaping the gastronomic offering.
This configuration will encourage interaction between producers, cheese maturers, manufacturers, specialist distributors and professional organisations gathered in one location. Exchanges between sectors will be facilitated and may lead to new commercial collaborations.
Moreover, consumer trends confirm the resilience and potential of the fine food market. According to the Xerfi study “La distribution d’épicerie fine à l’horizon 2026” (2024), 70% of French consumers still associate these products with special moments, while 61% consider nutritional balance and product quality essential. Finally, 90% favour French fine food products, illustrating a strong attachment to origin, craftsmanship and authenticity.
These indicators confirm the dynamism of the sector and the relevance of a closer link with the cheese industry, which is also positioned in high value-added segments.
By bringing together, on the same dates and at the same venue, stakeholders from the cheese and dairy sector alongside those from the fine food industry, the two trade shows will offer a coherent and complementary platform to analyse the market, develop product offerings and strengthen commercial strategies.
