Sagra dell'olio di Tusa

Set against the stunning backdrop of Messina's hills overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, Tusa celebrates its most precious treasure: extra virgin olive oil. The Sagra dell'olio is far more than a simple food and wine festival—it is an authentic celebration of territorial excellence, where every drop of liquid gold tells stories of tradition, passion, and dedication. Local olive growers open the doors of their mills to share the secrets of an art passed down through generations. During the event, visitors are invited on a true sensory journey: from bruschetta that captures the pure essence of oil, to flavourful soups, fresh salads, and surprising desserts that transform oil into a noble ingredient. Guided tastings and meetings with experts allow you to explore the organoleptic characteristics and production techniques, turning each tasting into a moment of conscious discovery. The streets of Tusa come alive with genuine conviviality, where artisan stalls and folk music create an intense and engaging atmosphere. This is not a loud celebration, but rather a refined and understated one, where the absolute protagonist remains the product and the territory that produces it—a perfect occasion for those seeking to discover authentic culinary and gastronomic Sicily.
