Aj a Caraj

Aj a Caraj is Piedmont's celebration that transforms garlic from a simple ingredient into the true star of culinary and cultural life. Now in its 20th edition, this Caraglio festival captures the essence of Piedmontese autumn, blending the magic of warm colors with the most authentic and comforting flavors of local tradition. An event where nature offers its finest gifts and the community transforms them into unforgettable experiences. The festival is a sensory journey through exhibitions dedicated to Piedmont's white gold, tastings that highlight garlic's organoleptic qualities in all its forms, and a themed market where you can discover typical products and gastronomic specialties. Bagna Cauda, the symbolic dish of Piedmontese cuisine where garlic reigns supreme, represents the beating heart of the festival—a moment of sharing and conviviality around the table. Music, seasonal aromas, and festive atmospheres complete an experience that celebrates not just an ingredient, but a way of living Piedmontese culinary tradition. Aj a Caraj is the perfect opportunity to discover how a simple white bulb can transform into gastronomic poetry and create connections between people, cultures, and flavors.
