Sagra del Torcetto

The Sagra del Torcetto in Agliè represents one of the sweetest moments in the Canavese gastronomic calendar, an occasion to celebrate Piedmontese pastry-making traditions through its most beloved protagonists. Organized with dedication by the local Pro Loco and sponsored by the municipality, this event transforms the village streets into a living showcase of authentic flavors and recipes passed down through generations.

At the heart of the festival is the torcetto of Agliè itself: a delightful pastry, simple in its elegance, born from the wisdom of Piedmontese grandmothers and perfected by the skill of local master bakers. Made with only essential ingredients—flour, butter, and sugar—the torcetto owes its name to its characteristic twisted shape, an elegant braid that tells stories of artisanal ovens and family tables. Every curve and spiral of this sweet pastry holds the memory of a tradition deeply rooted in Piedmont's food and wine heritage.

The Sagra extends far beyond the torcetto, offering a complete immersion into Canavese gastronomic excellence: from pastries to regional specialties, all the authentic flavors of the territory find their place at this gathering that evokes warmth and conviviality, inviting visitors and enthusiasts to discover Piedmont's rich pastry and culinary heritage.
