Sagra gnocchi al castelmagno (Gnocchi with Castelmagno Cheese Festival)

The Sagra degli Gnocchi al Castelmagno in Caraglio celebrates one of the most famous and beloved dishes of Piedmontese cuisine and the Cuneo valleys. The festival pays homage to the union between rural farming traditions and the cheese-making art of the Grana Valley, showcasing the authentic flavors of this mountain region. At the heart of the event are homemade potato gnocchi served with a luscious cream sauce made from Castelmagno PDO, an alpine hard cheese crafted mainly from cow milk with possible additions of sheep or goat milk. This gathering is a wonderful occasion for conviviality, inviting visitors to discover local culinary heritage while highlighting traditional produce and the dedication of those who keep the community's ancient gastronomic customs alive.
