Sauta Cioende 'd Saut (Sautéed Pork Ribs Festival)

In the heart of Canavese, Cuorgnè prepares to celebrate one of Piedmont's most authentic traditions with Sauta Cioende 'd Saut, an event that captures the essence of Piedmontese folk culture. From 10 to 14 September 2026, the streets of the historic centre will transform into a stage of flavours, aromas, and conviviality, where pan-sautéed pork ribs prepared according to ancient farming traditions will take centre stage. This rustic dish, served with steaming polenta, golden potatoes, and seasonal vegetables, represents far more than a simple recipe: it is the collective memory of generations who transformed simple ingredients into moments of sharing and celebration. The festival unfolds across local food stalls, tastings of Piedmontese wines and traditional sweets, creating a complete and authentic culinary experience. Live music will animate the squares each evening, while artisan markets will tell the stories of ancient crafts, allowing visitors to discover the creativity and art still thriving in local communities. Dedicated spaces for families and children ensure a welcoming atmosphere for all. This popular festival represents the perfect balance between tradition and community, between the pleasure of the table and the warmth of human connection. For those wishing to rediscover authentic Piedmont, Sauta Cioende 'd Saut is an unmissable event where every moment celebrates the true identity of this extraordinary region.
