The Cyprus Trade Center New York represented the Republic of Cyprus with a national pavilion at the show, held June 28 to 30 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. The pavilion was located in the International Section and introduced visitors, buyers, and food industry representatives to products connected to Cyprus’ culinary traditions and export market.
Among the featured items were halloumi, which carries Protected Designation of Origin status, and Commandaria, the historic Cypriot dessert wine often described as one of the world’s oldest named wines still in production.
