Sagra della patata

The Sagra della Patata of Villastellone is a genuine tribute to one of the noblest ingredients in Piedmontese culinary tradition. In this agricultural town where potatoes have always been a fundamental crop, the festival becomes an unmissable opportunity to rediscover the authentic flavours of country cooking, far from fleeting trends and out-of-place refinements. During the three days of the event in late September, guests will be able to savour specialities prepared according to time-honoured recipes: from hand-modelled gnocchi to oven-baked potatoes seasoned with wild herbs, from crispy savoury fritters to savoury pies, to the ever-present golden croquettes. The potato reveals itself in all its versatility, both as the absolute star and as the perfect companion to meats, cheeses, and simple yet skilfully prepared condiments. Beyond gastronomic delights, the Sagra della Patata offers an authentic village celebration atmosphere with entertainment for children, folk shows celebrating local traditions, and stands from local producers. An experience that allows visitors to immerse themselves in Piedmontese rural culture and appreciate how a humble product can become the soul of a community.
