Sagra baccalà e peperuol

The Sagra del baccalà e peperuol represents one of the most anticipated moments in Molise's gastronomic calendar, an opportunity to savor a dish with deep historical roots in Frosolone's culinary tradition. This historic town in the province of Isernia proudly celebrates an ancient recipe that combines the nobility of salt cod, an ingredient sourced from distant seas, with the simplicity and authenticity of local peppers, creating a flavor combination that captivates palates of every generation.

Integrated into the Festa della Perdonanza, the festival represents the gastronomic pinnacle of an event rich in spiritual and cultural significance. After participating in religious celebrations at the Church of San Rocco and completing the traditional procession around the 14th-century stone cross, visitors and pilgrims can indulge in this local culinary delight. The artisanal preparation of the dish remains faithful to tradition: fried salt cod in batter and peppers sautéed in extra virgin olive oil are expertly combined to enhance each other's flavors.

The evening atmosphere is animated by live music performances from local groups that entertain diners, creating a complete sensory experience where taste intertwines with music and conviviality. An unmissable appointment for those wishing to discover the authentic culinary traditions of Molise and immerse themselves in the gastronomic culture of a community that jealously guards its historic flavors.
