Festival del puzzone di Moena

The Festival del Puzzone di Moena is an unmissable experience for cheese lovers and those seeking authentic Alpine traditions. For three days, the Dolomitic villages of Moena, Soraga and Predazzo transform into a celebration of Puzzone, the PDO cheese that stands as the true star of Trentino gastronomy. This flavorful cheese, known in Ladin as 'spretz tzaorì', is produced using traditional methods in Alpine dairies and recognized with the PAT mark, testament to a quality deeply rooted in local heritage. During the festival, visitors can immerse themselves in gourmet walks discovering authentic local flavors, participate in guided tastings and attend educational workshops designed for all ages. Gastronomic offerings and convivial aperitivos allow you to savor Puzzone in its many expressions, accompanied by the festive and genuine atmosphere of the Dolomitic villages. A fascinating element of the event is the desmontegada, the ancient Trentino tradition celebrating the return of livestock and herders from summer Alpine pastures. This folkloric celebration, rich with music, traditions and the evocative cutting of PDO cheese wheels, represents a living bridge with the past, transforming the Festival into a complete experience that unites flavors, culture and mountain landscapes.
