Sagra della focaccetta

In the heart of Tuscany, the small village of Quercia transforms into a charming open-air dining room during the days of the Sagra della focaccetta. An event that celebrates a culinary tradition with deep roots, whose origins date back at least to the eighteenth century, when it appears in the notarial documents of the Marquis Cosimo Malaspina. For over fifty years, the Pro Loco Quercia d'Oro has kept this gastronomic heritage alive with dedication and passion, bringing to the table a warm and fragrant dough that embodies the authentic flavors of local cuisine.

The focaccetta of Quercia is a culinary work of art that offers visitors the chance to choose from generous and delectable fillings: fresh cheeses such as stracchino, gorgonzola and formaggetta di mucca alternate with rich and savory cured meats, from pancetta to lard, from mortadella to local charcuterie. Each bite tells the story of a community that has managed to preserve its traditions intact, resisting the passage of decades.

Every July, tourists and food and wine enthusiasts gather in Quercia to experience something authentic, far from contemporary culinary trends. The Sagra della focaccetta represents a perfect opportunity to discover the genuine flavors of Tuscany, immersed in the evocative atmosphere of an ancient village where conviviality and the goodness of food remain the true protagonists.
