7-10 May 2024 – Parma
Castello took part in CIBUS, held in Parma from 7 to 10 May 2024.
With over 20,000 visitors, the Emilia-based exhibition once again confirmed its status as the leading international trade fair for the Made in Italy agri-food sector.
Our sales managers welcomed dozens of industry professionals, buyers and distribution operators to the stand, where they sampled our classic product lines alongside our major 2024 launch: Polenta Grigliata – a product that combines the flavour of open-fire cooking with Veneto’s long-standing culinary tradition.
The grilling process gives each slice a rustic, crisp exterior while preserving a soft centre. The result is polenta that is “fully cooked, grilled and pre-sliced”, helping to speed up plating in both contemporary and traditional settings.
“It has been an important edition. We recorded strong interest from international buyers, confirming the steady growth of overseas markets. At the same time, our presence in the Italian market continues to strengthen, with Polenta Grigliata receiving an enthusiastic response.”
