Sagra della patata

In splendid Calabria, precisely in Pietrebianche, a small hamlet of Martirano Lombardo in the province of Catanzaro, a culinary tradition has been perpetuated for over forty years celebrating one of the undisputed stars of the Italian table: the potato. The Sagra della Patata is an event rooted in local gastronomic culture, transforming this humble tuber into an unforgettable sensory experience through multiple and creative preparations. During this festival, visitors have the opportunity to taste authentic dishes from Calabrese tradition: from crispy fried potatoes to potatoes accompanied by onions and peppers, from the famous grispedde to local variations such as grispedde ccu'ra sarda ara petrejancara, to fluffy potato gnocchi. Each dish is enhanced by pairings with prestigious local wines, which bring out the genuine flavours of the Calabrian mountains. But the Sagra della Patata is far more than a simple gastronomic festival: it is an occasion for conviviality and entertainment for the whole family. Among popular games for adults and children and the notes of live music that enliven the day, Pietrebianche transforms into a place where tradition, flavours and joy meet to create unforgettable moments.
