Gastronomia - Gastrognosia 2012 Exhibition

The GASTRΟNOMIA –GASTROGNOSIA exhibition was created in 1995 and its purpose was to cover the needs of the Cypriot professionals in the food and beverage department. This was achieved by giving them the chance to be informed for the latest developments and innovations in the field of gastronomic pastry and bakery products and in machinery and kitchen equipment for restaurants and hotels.

The exhibition is organized with co-operation with the CYPRUS CHEFS ASSOCIATION, The Confectioners Federation and the Pancyprian Bakers association. These Associations have created Pancyprian competitions of cooking, pastry and baker's art, offering to Cypriots and foreign professional’s contests and information on their field as well as the emergence of professionals who will represent Cyprus abroad in international competitions.

The exhibition is also supported by other professional associations such as the CYPRUS ASSOCIATION OF BARTENDERS with their own competitions, the HOTEL ASSOCIATION and the ASSOCIATION OF RESTAURANTS giving a unique opportunity for all companies dealing with products and services in the food industry to stand out and come in a direct contact with professionals during the exhibition.

The exhibition is organized every year in February or early March at the State Fair and is considered to be a great feast for the food industry. The exhibition is also open for the public, giving the opportunity to fans of quality kitchen and good food to meet the companies dealing with food, drinks and equipment and to attend competitions of cooking, baking and bartending.
