About Buffalo Mozzarella Festival

The Buffalo Mozzarella Festival, also known as Sapori di Bufala, is a summer gastronomic event held in Bomarzo, in the province of Viterbo, in the heart of the Tuscia region of Lazio. Hosted at the Parco delle Stelle in the Pinetti area, the festival celebrates buffalo mozzarella and local home-style cooking, accompanied by grilled meats, food stalls, and lively evenings with live music. It is a convivial, open-air village festival that blends tradition, good food, and cheer under the August sky.

The Buffalo Mozzarella Festival in Bomarzo

The Buffalo Mozzarella Festival, which has also been presented under the name Sapori di Bufala, is one of the most cherished summer events in Bomarzo, a small town in the province of Viterbo, in northern Lazio. The event takes place at the Parco delle Stelle, in the Pinetti area, along the Bomarzese provincial road: an open-air green space that hosts various local food festivals throughout the summer.

Buffalo mozzarella takes center stage

The heart of the festival is buffalo mozzarella, the iconic product of central-southern Italian dairy tradition, served here with a local, home-style twist. Alongside the mozzarella, the stalls offer grilled meats and dishes from the rural Tuscia cuisine, in a simple and genuine menu designed for the conviviality of summer evenings.

Atmosphere and dance evenings

The Buffalo Mozzarella Festival is about more than just food: the evenings are enlivened by live music and dancing, following the classic formula of Lazio village festivals. The stalls typically open in the evening, and the relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere makes the event perfect for families, groups of friends, and visitors passing through the area.

Bomarzo and the Tuscia region

Attending the festival is also a great opportunity to discover Bomarzo, a village world-famous for its Park of the Monsters (the 16th-century Sacred Wood), and more generally the Tuscia Viterbese, a land of festivals, medieval villages, nature, and ancient traditions. The Lazio region maintains a rich calendar of food and wine events in this area, renewing the bond between the community and local products year after year.

A traditional appointment

With its simple and straightforward atmosphere, the Buffalo Mozzarella Festival perfectly embodies the spirit of the Tuscia festivals: good food, hospitality, and the joy of being together. For updated dates and programs, it is always advisable to check the organizers' announcements in the weeks leading up to the event.
