In the heart of the Romagna hills, the charming village of Montegelli comes alive every autumn to celebrate one of the most fascinating preserves in peasant tradition: Savor. This dense and fragrant mustard, prepared with grape must, pears, quinces, walnuts, almonds and citrus zest, embodies the essence of Romagna's gastronomic wisdom, passed down through generations of women who transformed their garden fruits into treasures to be preserved. During the Sagra del Savor, visitors will immerse themselves completely in this sensory experience: intense cooking aromas will drift through the village's medieval lanes, creating a magical and nostalgic atmosphere. The event is more than just a celebration of the product—it's a true journey through the region's culinary memory. Live demonstrations will showcase traditional preparation techniques, while delicious tastings will reveal how Savor pairs perfectly with aged cheeses, rustic biscuits, fruit tarts and homemade bread. Gastronomic stands and a market of local producers will enrich the offering, allowing visitors to take home the authentic flavors of Romagna. Beyond culinary delights, live music will animate the village squares, creating a festive and convivial atmosphere. The Sagra del Savor is an unmissable opportunity to rediscover the value of homemade preserves and understand how Romagna's traditional cuisine safeguards a timeless cultural wealth.
