In September 2012, the Federation of Swiss Cheese Producers organized an exposition at the Cremerie de Paris, a historic former cheese shop at the Paris Les Halles that has become an international expo center. The exposition was accompanied by various events like cheese cooking lessons from the French chef Jean Charles Karmann. Many press articles and the Guide Michelin followed the event.
