Caseificio Longo’s participation in the thirtieth edition of Gulfood, the world’s largest trade show dedicated to the Food & Beverage sector, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, concluded with an extremely positive outcome.
In an international context that saw the participation of the main players in the global agri-food industry, the company from Rivarolo Canavese reaffirmed its role as an ambassador of Made in Italy, bringing the tradition and innovation of Piedmontese cheese-making culture to the heart of the Middle East.
Tomino del Boscaiolo: an international icon
The focal point of the exhibition was the renowned Tomino del Boscaiolo, the signature product that has made Caseificio Longo a benchmark in the soft cheese market. Throughout the trade fair, the Tomino was presented in its most classic form through live cooking demonstrations, highlighting its culinary versatility—from the grill to the most refined gourmet recipes.
“È stata la prima partecipazione per noi, in una edizione che per la prima volta ha coinvolto 2 location diverse di Gulfood, vista la forte espansione degli ultimi anni” commenta Nicola Caprani, Export Manager del Caseificio Longo. “Da un lato, il flusso di visitatori si è un po’ disperso su due fronti, dall’altro, la concentrazione dei produttori “Dairy” in un unico padiglione ha permesso di accogliere e conoscere solo buyers focalizzati sul nostro settore. Oltre ai nostri prodotti più classici, esportabili nel Middle-East e, più in generale fuori Europa, solo via aerea nella versione “Chilled”, abbiamo presentato la nuova linea “Frozen” con al centro il Tomino del Boscaiolo, in tutte le sue versioni e formati. L’investimento fatto non è solo per i mercati di sbocco del Middle-East, Gulfood è sempre più un crocevia dei mercati internazionali del Food e l’edizione 2026 lo ha dimostrato”.Expansion and sustainability strategies
Caseificio Longo’s participation was not only a product showcase, but also an important networking opportunity. The company met with buyers, distributors and industry professionals from over 50 countries, encountering growing interest in products that combine territorial tradition with the highest quality standards, essential requirements for competing in the most demanding global markets.
The success in Dubai marks a further milestone in the brand’s internationalization journey, which continues to invest in technological innovation and sustainability, while never losing its unbreakable bond with its Canavese roots.
