Fëta di Teteun
The festival dedicated to teteun, the exclusive Aosta Valley specialty from Gignod
About Fëta di Teteun
A Unique Specialty Worldwide
Teteun is a gastronomic specialty exclusive to the Aosta Valley, made from brined cow's udders, processed using a special method that gives them an unmistakable flavour and texture. Served in thin slices, often with local sauces and side dishes, it is a product of peasant tradition that has its own dedicated festival in Gignod, a municipality in the Gran San Bernardo Valley.
A Village Festival Since 1976
The Fëta di Teteun was born in 1976 on the initiative of the Pro Loco of Gignod and has grown to become one of the most anticipated food and wine events of the Aosta Valley summer. It takes place in the town's recreational area and lasts for three days, filled with food stalls, music, and entertainment.
What to Expect
- Tasting of teteun, the absolute star;
- The festival restaurant with local specialties and, among the offerings, mixed fried fish;
- Dancing evenings with live bands;
- The election of Miss Teteun;
- An artisan market and activities for families and children.
Teteun and Snails
In recent editions, the festival has been enhanced by pairing with snails (from "Madame Escargot"), expanding the gastronomic offer and confirming Gignod's commitment to promoting the most authentic and curious flavours of Aosta Valley tradition.
