Sagra dello gnocco ai funghi porcini

Among the chestnut groves of the Caserta area, in the hamlet of Furnolo, an event comes to life that celebrates one of the noblest protagonists of Campania's cuisine: gnocchi with porcini mushrooms. The Sagra dello Gnocco ai Funghi Porcini, scheduled from July 16-20, 2026, is an opportunity to savor the local culinary tradition in all its authenticity, where each dish tells the story of the surrounding mountain territories.

The gnocchi are prepared entirely by hand according to recipes passed down through generations and dressed with a rich sauce made from fresh porcini mushrooms, collected directly from the forests of the surrounding areas during the season. Each serving represents the perfect blend of simplicity and refinement, highlighting the authentic flavors of the mountains.

The festival menu offers a complete and varied gastronomic experience: in addition to the unmissable gnocchi with porcini mushrooms, you can enjoy gnocchi with traditional ragù, homemade tagliatelle, typical Campania main courses such as grilled meats and braised dishes, local cheeses and cured meats, and artisanal desserts prepared according to grandmother's recipes.

In a convivial and relaxed atmosphere, enlivened by live music, folk shows and evening entertainment, tables and families quickly fill with enthusiastic guests. The festival represents that perfect balance between authenticity and hospitality, where the genuine flavor of the mountains meets the desire for celebration and community sharing.

The event is ideal for those who wish to discover the natural beauties of the Caserta territory, with the possibility of excursions through the surrounding chestnut forests and visits to the small medieval villages in the area.
