Festival of White Cuisine

The 2025 edition confirmed the tried-and-tested format of the Festival of White Cuisine: an evening gastronomic itinerary that winds through the streets and courtyards of the historic center of Mendatica, in the Ligurian Alps. Starting from 7 PM, visitors could taste, stop by stop, the light-colored dishes of the pastoral tradition, prepared by individual village families with local dairy products, cereals, and vegetables.

Accompanying the evening were craft and hobby markets and several live music groups. The event, organized by Pro Loco Mendatica, revived the memory of the ancient Malghe Civilization in one of the most distinctive festivals of the Imperia hinterland.

The gastronomic itinerary started from 7 PM, with tickets and information available in Piazza della Chiesa and tasting points scattered throughout the village, accompanied by markets and live music.
