January comes alive with the authentic flavours of Broccoletto di Custoza, a winter vegetable that represents a genuine Slow Food Presidium and a true excellence of the Veneto region. The event ‹I sapori del Broccoletto di Custoza›, running from 2 to 11 January, is an unmissable opportunity to discover and appreciate this extraordinary produce in all its forms, thanks to collaboration between producer associations, restaurateurs, local tourism boards and the renowned wineries of the Custoza DOC Protection Consortium. The event, structured around three main appointments, offers diverse experiences for every palate. Slow Food's Mercato della Terra in Sommacampagna allows you to purchase locally-grown broccoletto, while ‹Broccoletto in tavola› presents a true culinary marathon with dedicated evenings in the finest restaurants of Custoza, where local chefs create innovative dishes while honouring tradition, paired with prestigious Custoza wine. Finally, ‹Il broccoletto in piazza› opens its doors to all lovers of genuine cuisine with traditional dishes, good music and conviviality. This is the ideal event for those wishing to immerse themselves in the authentic flavours of the territory, discover how local culinary tradition elevates this extraordinary vegetable, and understand the deep connection between Broccoletto and the Custoza area, where quality and passion for food represent fundamental values.
