Cyprus promotes local food and drink at The London Food & Drink Festival 2026

The Cypriot Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry participated in The London Food & Drink Festival 2026, held on September 16 and 17 at the ExCeL London exhibition center. The initiative was coordinated by the Cyprus Trade Centre in London as part of a strategic effort to enhance the visibility and export potential of Cypriot food and beverage products within the United Kingdom market.

At the dedicated information stand, attendees were presented with a broad array of traditional and contemporary goods, including halloumi, dairy products, cured meats, bakery items, honey, and various alcoholic beverages such as zivania and local wines. Additionally, the exhibition showcased specialty items like trahanas, carob syrup, rose-based products, and fruit preserves. A resident chef prepared tasting dishes to offer visitors an immersive experience of the island's culinary heritage, supported by promotional materials such as recipes and the Cyprus Gastronomic Map.

This year marked the inaugural edition of the London Food & Drink Festival, which consolidated five established trade exhibitions under a single event. The ministry's active involvement aims to strengthen long-term trade relations and consumer recognition of Cypriot products in the British market.
