Sagra della Focaccia al Formaggio (Cheese Focaccia Festival)

Nestled among the rolling green hills of Sori, in the charming village of Sussisa, returns the year's most anticipated event: the Sagra della Focaccia al Formaggio. A celebration of one of Liguria's most iconic gastronomic treasures—a dish that embodies centuries of tradition and the culinary identity of the Golfo Paradiso. Sussisa's cheese focaccia is far more than simple food; it is a legacy passed down through generations, prepared using authentic recipes that tell the story and culture of this territory. Over two days, the gastronomic stands invite visitors to savour this excellence in all its authenticity, featuring original variations and special toppings that honour tradition while adding contemporary flair. Each bite of focaccia al formaggio offers a genuine taste of the region, in a warm and authentic atmosphere where flavour reigns supreme. Yet the Sagra della Focaccia al Formaggio is much more than a food festival: it is an event that brings the village to life with live music, performances, and entertainment that engage both residents and visitors, transforming Sussisa into a meeting place and celebration of community. Surrounded by hills overlooking the sea, Ligurian traditions, and festive spirit, this event continues to be one of the season's most distinctive and eagerly awaited occasions.
