FACEnetwork 2026: Registrations open! 16th European Farmhouse and Artisan Cheese & Dairy Meeting

For the first time, this annual meeting will take place in the Basque Country, a region where dairy production goes far beyond an economic activity, forming a cultural legacy deeply rooted in its landscape, its people, and its way of life.

Under the theme “Basque Dairy: Tradition Inspiring Innovation”, the congress highlights how tradition and innovation come together to shape the future of the dairy sector.

The three-day programme offers a dynamic mix of activities designed to share knowledge, connect professionals, and explore the latest developments in artisan dairy production, including:

• Technical visits to local artisan cheesemakers
• Technical sessions on cheese and dairy production
• Expert presentations and lectures
• A European cheese buffet and tasting experience

This meeting is aimed at producers, advisers, researchers, cheese traders, and all those who share a passion for farmhouse and artisanal dairy production.

FACEnetwork 2026 will bring together the European dairy community in a unique setting, offering an opportunity to connect, learn, and share experiences while discovering the richness and authenticity of Basque dairy culture.
