Fiera della cipolla bionda di Cureggio e Fontaneto

In the heart of the Novara plain, between September and early autumn, Fontaneto d'Agogna transforms into a stage dedicated to one of Piedmont's agricultural treasures: the blonde onion of Cureggio. This ancient variety, sweet and delicate in flavour, represents far more than a simple culinary ingredient; it is the symbol of a farming tradition that endures through time, still harvested by hand today according to methods passed down through generations. The Blonde Onion Fair is not merely a gastronomic celebration, but a genuine cultural and sensory journey. During the two days of the event, meetings with agronomists and local producers offer visitors the chance to discover the secrets of sustainable cultivation and the biodiversity of this unique territory. Cooking shows and guided tastings lead participants on a fascinating journey through traditional and contemporary recipes, where the blonde onion reveals its extraordinary versatility: from steaming soups to golden frittatas, from crispy focaccias to savoury meatballs, to sauces that enhance its delicate natural aroma. The atmosphere is completed by local product markets, interactive workshops for children and live music performances, creating an authentic experience where the promotion of this typical product intertwines with the story of conscious and respectful agriculture. A fragrant and genuine celebration that honours the excellence of the Piedmont region.
