Sagra della soppressata e del caciocavallo

In the heart of Basilicata, the charming village of Rapone transforms into a showcase dedicated to the region's gastronomic excellence. The Sagra della Soppressata e del Caciocavallo celebrates two products that embody centuries of tradition and artisanal craftsmanship: soppressata, with its bold flavour and seasoning that enhances its distinctive character, and caciocavallo, a stretched-curd cheese that radiates authenticity. A perfect pairing that represents the culinary identity of the region. This event is far more than a simple tasting—it's a complete immersion in local culture. Visitors can savour these traditional products accompanied by fragrant homemade bread, local wines and artisanal preserves, discovering how Lucanian folk tradition lives on through food. Tables laden with specialities become spaces of conviviality where the pleasure of fine dining is shared. But Rapone, the ‹land of fairy tales›, offers far more than simple tastings. Performances of folk music, enchanting storytelling for children, exhibitions of artisanal products and fascinating murals decorating the village streets create a magical and welcoming atmosphere. A celebration that weaves together gastronomic heritage and wonder—perfect for families and authentic food and wine enthusiasts.
