Per non perdere il sapore (To Not Lose the Flavor)

The festival 'Per non perdere il sapore' in Reggiolo is a celebration dedicated to the Emiliano tradition of pork butchery and the preservation of ancient rural culture. The event pays homage to the craft of pork processing through a journey blending historical memory and conviviality. In the town square, master pork butchers hold live demonstrations illustrating traditional meat-processing techniques used to craft classic cured meats. Visitors can savor a variety of authentic regional specialties such as cotechino, zampone, ciccioli, and salami, perfectly paired with local wines. Alongside the gastronomic offerings, the festival features markets with typical products, displays of vintage farming tools, and lively folklore performances designed to pass down local heritage to future generations.
