In the heart of Emilia-Romagna, the Cibus fair in Parma turned into a showcase of excellence for the Italian agri-food sector, attracting the attention of visitors and professionals from all over the world. Among this year’s prominent exhibitors, the Consorzio Olio di Calabria Igp made its heartfelt presence, bringing with it the intense flavors and age-old traditions of the Calabria region.
The fair, which takes place May 7-10, 2024, offers a unique stage for companies to showcase their innovative and quality products.

And the presence of the Consortium Olio di Calabria Igp at Cibus Parma is not only an opportunity to celebrate the Calabrian olive culture, but also a moment of comparison and growth in the broader context of the Italian agri-food industry,” said the president of the Consortium, Massimino Magliocchi, who then met with Arsac commissioner Fulvia Caligiuri and Agriculture department director Giuseppe Iiritano, along with manager Alessandra Celi.
“We are honored to participate in Cibus, an event that represents an important showcase for quality agribusiness and an unmissable opportunity for our Consortium to show the world the excellence of Olio di Calabria Igp. The presence of numerous industry professionals and enthusiasts gives us the opportunity to share our dedication and commitment to the production of an extra virgin olive oil that is an expression authentic expression of the Calabrian territory,” remarked Magliocchi.
