The Sagra del Salame Cotto e del Pecorino di Nepi represents an extraordinary opportunity to celebrate two gastronomic excellences of Lazio, deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of Tuscia. This event brings together food and wine enthusiasts, local producers, and curious visitors eager to discover the authentic flavors of the region, offering an immersive experience in the world of artisanal food production.

Nepi's cooked salami and pecorino cheese are living testimonies to a culinary heritage passed down through generations. The cooked salami, characterized by delicate processing that enhances the natural aromas of pork, pairs perfectly with local pecorino, a semi-hard cheese with a distinctive and persistent flavor. Each taste tells stories of dedication and artisanal techniques that local producers continue to preserve with passion.

During the festival, visitors can taste the products paired with carefully selected Lazio wines, discover production processes through artisan demonstrations, and purchase directly from participating producers. The festive atmosphere of Nepi's historic center comes alive with food stands, tasting areas, and side activities that engage the whole family.

A must-visit event for those who wish to support local food producers and transform every taste into an authentic journey through the flavors of Tuscia.
