For the first time was Prima Donna represented at the Gulfood tradefair from 19 till the 22nd of Februari in Dubai. The cheeses were warm welcomed by visitors from the Middle-East, Africa and South Asia. Prima Donna was probably tasted by every visitor, because it was almost impossible  to cut the cheeses right in time before the cheeseboard was empty. This is great news for Prima Donna to gain new cheeselovers in new parts of the world! The silver awardwinner, Prima Donna maturo, was again one of the favorites of the visitors.

The team of Ron Zwerver and Koos Klein played several volleyball matches against their Brazilian peers. This trip will give the Dutch Talent Team a unique opportunity to play against top-class volleyball players.  Last year the Brazilian volleyball players were guests in the Netherlands and because of the great Dutch hospitality the team was invited to come to Brazil. This two-week training camp was made possible by event sponsor Prima Donna cheese, the unique cheese specialty that has worldwide recognition and especially in Brazil.

Apart from volleyball many Brazilians love our Prima Donna cheese and therefore this exchange is a wonderful opportunity to bring Prima Donna cheese under the attention of sport fanatics in Brazil. The training of the Dutch Talent Team is the unique possibility for connecting the popularity of volleyball to Prima Donna cheese. “A nice promotion for Prima Donna as well as for the volleyball sport”, according to the CEO of Vandersterre Groep and volleyball fanatic Mr. Jan Kos.
