Sagra del Torcetto, Grissino e Toma di Lanzo

Lanzo Torinese is preparing to celebrate its three gastronomic treasures with the Sagra del Torcetto, Grissino e Toma, an event that brings together tradition, authentic flavors, and Piedmontese culture. In the Valleys of Lanzo, these three products represent the heart of local gastronomy: the torcetto, a centuries-old sweet with a distinctive shape and caramelized flavor; the grissino stirato (stretched breadstick), the celebrated invention born from the genius of physician Teobaldo Pecchio and baker Antonio Brunero; and Toma, a robust yet delicate cheese embodying Piedmontese cheese-making excellence. This festival is far more than a culinary celebration—it is a genuine journey through the history and culture of the territory. Visitors can not only taste exquisite dishes at numerous lunches and dinners but also participate in interactive workshops where local master pastry chefs share the secrets of traditional preparation. A unique opportunity to understand the art and passion behind these products. Beyond gastronomy, the event offers a rich calendar of attractions: medieval historical reenactments, exhibitions, traveling performances, concerts, and family activities. The highlight will be an evocative medieval costume parade that will animate the historic town center streets, transforming Lanzo into an open-air stage where tradition, culture, and modernity meet.
