About Casearia
The great journey into Italian cheese
Casearia – Fiera Nazionale dei Formaggi Italiani is the only national fair dedicated to cheese in Central-Southern Italy. It is held at the Palasport in Agnone, on Viale Europa, and attracts producers, dairies, consortia, and companies from the dairy supply chain from all over the peninsula. The previous edition saw over 70 exhibitors and more than 250 productions, with thousands of visitors.
Agnone, City of Cheese
Agnone, in the province of Isernia, is recognized as a City of Cheese by ONAF (National Organisation of Cheese Tasters): a title that celebrates its deep cheese-making vocation, alongside the historic tradition of copper and bell working. Casearia is the moment when this heritage is shared with a national audience.
Tastings, masterclasses, and awards
The program includes guided tastings, show cooking, masterclasses, workshops for families, visits to the city's heritage sites, and museum discounts. The heart of the competition is the Casearia Awards, an award with ONAF patronage that recognizes quality, identity, and the ability to interpret cheese authentically and contemporarily. An event that combines taste, culture, and the enhancement of the Molise region.
Casearia — edition 2026
The 4th edition of Casearia takes place in Agnone from August 28 to 30, 2026, at the Palasport on Viale Europa. The formula that has driven the event's growth is confirmed: guided tastings, show cooking, masterclasses, workshops for families, visits to the city's heritage sites, and museum discounts, with the Casearia Awards recognizing the best productions. The deadline for exhibitor applications is June 30, 2026. The most anticipated novelties of the edition are revealed by the organizers in the weeks prior.
