Paletta e dintorni is the festival celebrating one of Piedmont's gastronomic treasures: the Paletta di Coggiola, a shoulder ham with ancient origins deeply rooted in the local tradition of pork processing. This delicious cured meat, prepared with selected cuts, salt and spices, aged in earthenware vessels according to time-honoured methods, is the beating heart of two days dedicated to authentic flavours and the wine and food culture of the valley. Yet the festival goes beyond this single speciality: Coggiola invites visitors on a multisensory journey through beef tartare, local traditional antipasti, artisanal pastries and biscuits, and precious saffron. The Paletta is presented in countless delicious variations, from rustic polenta pairings to refined filled ravioli, alongside potato dishes. During the festive weekend, the village streets transform into an open-air stage where food and wine markets, local crafts, photography exhibitions, wooden sculptures and street musicians create a vibrant atmosphere. Surrounded by Piedmont's mountains, Coggiola becomes the ideal destination for those wishing to discover authentic traditions, savour genuine flavours, and enjoy entertainment, art and culture in perfect harmony with the landscape.
