The Summer Fancy Food Show bills itself as the largest specialty food and beverage trade show in North America, attracting 2,400 exhibitors from 50 countries and regions. Attendees will get a chance to check out more than 180,000 products, from confections, cheese and coffee to snacks, spices, ethnic, natural and organic goods.

“The Summer Fancy Food Show is important because it attracts buyers who really appreciate the quality products Kontos Foods makes,” said Steve Kontos, president of Kontos Foods. “If we can’t produce a superior product, we won’t make it. It’s why we take the extra step to ensure all our flatbread is hand-stretched for fluffiness™, locking in freshness.”
