The Associazione Biagio presents the Festa della Fresella e del Caciocavallo arrostito in Lagonegro, a celebration dedicated to the authentic flavors of Lucanian tradition. The event features two distinct dates across the town: on August 18th, the festivities take place in Piazza Purgatorio, moving to the Lagonegro Station area on August 22nd. The absolute stars of the culinary lineup are the fresella—crispy twice-baked bread dressed with fresh tomatoes and olive oil—and grilled caciocavallo cheese, roasted over glowing embers and served delightfully melted. Starting from 8:00 PM, food tastings at the culinary stalls will be complemented by live music and captivating shows.
