from €150

The "Sagra del Turtun" in Castel Vittorio is a traditional festival that takes place every year, celebrating the "turtun", a typical local flatbread ( focaccia) filled with vegetables and cheese. The festival includes music, dancing, stalls and, of course, the tasting of turtun.

The "Turtun" is the witness of a simple peasant cuisine, when women used and combined with great skills poor ingredients, but rich in taste and aroma. In the still hot wood-fired oven, after baking the bread, women arranged the Turtun without using the pan and adding the initials to facilitate recognition once cooked.

To allow the preservation of the most authentic recipe, this year also includes a gastronomic competition, in which all cooking enthusiasts can participate. The selection criteria will be based on the shape, color, taste, aroma, consistency and beauty of the characteristic "wrinkles".

If you love Vespa, scenic roads and authentic traditions, the Sagra del Turtun in Castel Vittorio is the perfect appointment for a tour of taste and adventure. Ready to go?
