For more than 30 years, PLMA's annual pri-
vate label trade show has been the place
where retailers and suppliers meet to build
their private
label business.
Among visitors
who attend are
buyers and exec-
utives from vir-
tually every
major US super-
market, drug chain, mass merchandiser, club,
convenience chain, and specialty retailers.
PLMA's 2015 Private Label Trade Show
will be the event of the year for the private
label industry, presenting more than 2,700
exhibit booths from leading manufacturers
of store brands in virtually every food and
beverage category – including gourmet and
specialty prepared foods, refrigerated, frozen
and ingredients.
Exhibitors range from large, well-known
corporations to small and medium-size com-
panies. International participation continues
to expand. Exhibitors from more than 35
countries can be found throughout the show
floor with national pavilions representing
China, Spain, South Africa, Costa Rica,
Ecuador, Peru, Turkey and Egypt, joining
pavilions from Italy, France, Canada, Mexico,
and others.

In the heart of America's favorite food city,
in a neighborhood busting with craft and
creativity, the California Artisan Cheese
Guild will launch SF Cheese Fest, a
first-time event bringing together ac-
claimed cheesemakers, the city's hippest
mongers, Bay Area brews, and local makers
of artisan foods. Tickets are on sale now for
the SF Cheese Fest's main event, the
Cheesemaker Celebration, along with other
festival events to be held at various loca-
tions around the city. The mission of SF
Cheese Fest is to bring the farm to the City
– to celebrate the hard work, craftsman-
ship, and unique character of California
cheese and cheesemakers.
"By supporting local artisan and farm-
stead cheeses, you are helping to preserve
working farms, open space and the
unique flavors they produce," says Cheese
Guild President Louella Hill. At the SF
Cheese Fest Cheesemaker Celebration on
Saturday, September 19, 2015, at Dog-
patch WineWorks, guests will rub elbows
with over 20 cheesemakers, cheesemon-
gers and more. On offer are curated pair-
ings with Bay Area cutting edge producers
We Love Jam, Mimi's Confiture, Rustic
Bakery, Josey Baker Bread, Fra' Mani, Bay
Area Bee Company, Friend in Cheeses
preserves, along with beer from San Fran-
cisco breweries. The evening will over-
flow with flavor while music from The
Easy Leaves and DJ Lisa Pezzino keeps
the party moving. Tickets are available at
Eventbrite, including VIP tickets ($125)
with early entrance at 6pm, live music,
special bites provided by Piccino and
prizes, and General Admission ($75) from
7 to10 p.m. SF Cheese Fest is the primary
fundraiser for the California Artisan
Cheese Guild.
