About Festival of Toc
The Tòc, the village's dish
The Festival of Toc is the gastronomic heart of the patronal feast of Torno, a charming village on the eastern shore of Lake Como, in the province of Como. The star is the Tòc, a typical local dish made of polenta and cheese, served with missoltini (dried lake fish), salamelle, or in a mixed version: a concentrate of the Lario's simple and traditional cuisine.
Patronal feast and community
The festival takes place at the parish oratory of Torno on the occasion of the September patronal feast. The evening, starting at 7:00 PM, offers dinner with Tòc and accompanies the religious and community moments of the celebration. It is an event cherished by the village inhabitants, who find the thread of tradition in shared meals.
