Dive into a gourmet atmosphere at the Cheese Festival! Every spring, the medieval town comes alive on the first Sunday of May with around twenty stands and an authentic musical atmosphere that resonates throughout the day.
For an even more immersive experience, watch the cheese being made over a wood fire and uncover the secrets of this ancient craft. Several artisans will enrich the market by presenting the traditions and specialties typical of our region.
This festival continues an old tradition, where cheesemakers would empty their cellars before the herds went up to the mountain pastures. Lovers of fine products are sure to have a convivial time, with friends or family.
