An entire month dedicated to the excellence of Tuscan cuisine: from June 11 to July 11, Borgo a Buggiano transforms into a paradise for regional gastronomy lovers with the Sagra del Pane Toscano DOP. Born from the transformation of the historic Bavarian Beer Festival, this event finally places the true star at centre stage: Tuscan DOP Bread, an exceptional product that represents the region's culinary identity and boasts a century-old tradition. Every evening, starting at 7:30 PM, the food stands in Parco Colombai at Villa Ankuri offer a fascinating blend of traditional flavours. DOP bread accompanies authentic Tuscan cuisine dishes, paired with a selection of cured meats and cheeses that enhance the rustic and genuine character of local tradition. For those who cannot resist the grill's call, a dedicated stand serves steaming bistecche and grilled meats that embody the essence of the most authentic Tuscan cooking. The festival atmosphere is enhanced by live musical performances that accompany the evenings, transforming dinner into a true convivial event. During the festival, local master bakers take turns in practical demonstrations of traditional bread-making, allowing visitors to discover the secrets of Tuscan DOP Bread. Guided tastings with experts are also organised to illustrate ideal pairings between bread and regional products. With free admission and organised by the Parco Colombai Association, this is the unmissable appointment to discover how a simple ingredient, bread, can elevate the entire Tuscan gastronomic experience. A unique opportunity to savour the authenticity of the territory and meet bread artisans who keep centuries-old traditions alive.
