Fiera dello scalogno di romagna IGP

In the heart of Romagna, in Riolo Terme, one of the most anticipated appointments for lovers of Emilian gastronomy returns: the Fiera dello Scalogno di Romagna IGP. This small thermal spa village transforms into a celebration of the product that for over thirty years has represented a territorial excellence recognized at the European level. Romagna Shallot is no ordinary vegetable: compared to the more common French variety found in supermarkets, it possesses unique organoleptic characteristics, the result of Romagna terroir and local agricultural tradition. Certified IGP since 1997, it is grown mainly in the territory of Riolo Terme, where in 1992 the idea of creating a dedicated fair to enhance this excellence originated.

During the nine days of festivities, visitors will have the opportunity to meet producers from the Consortium directly and discover shallots freshly harvested from local fields. But the Fair is not just a market: it is a complete immersion in the world of this versatile vegetable, which transforms into dishes of Romagna tradition such as tagliolini with shallot ragù, polenta, frittata and many other recipes that demonstrate its adaptability both in fresh and preserved form.

Culinary workshops, cooking shows and meetings with producers guide the public through a path that unites agricultural awareness and gastronomic pleasure. Preserves, jams and pickled vegetables complete the offer, allowing you to take home the flavors of Romagna. A celebration that honors the work of the land, the value of quality certification and the right to savor local excellences with slowness and mindfulness.
