Fiordilatte Fiordifesta

Fiordilatte Fiordifesta: The Dairy Heart of the Monti Lattari

Every summer, the Pianillo district of Agerola, in the province of Naples, transforms into a culinary capital for Fiordilatte Fiordifesta, a festival dedicated to the famous local fiordilatte and regional specialties. It is no coincidence that these mountains are called Monti Lattari (Milk Mountains); for centuries, a deep-rooted dairy tradition has defined the identity of this plateau suspended between the Amalfi Coast and the Sorrento Peninsula, where herds graze at over 600 meters and milk is transformed into fiordilatte, Provolone del Monaco, and other PDO delicacies.

A Tradition Uniting Community and Territory

Now in its 46th edition in 2026, the event is organized by the Sant'Antonio Abate Association in collaboration with the Sant'Antonio Festival Committee, with the patronage of the Municipality of Agerola, the Campania Region, and Slow Food. The festival is much more than a gastronomic event: it is a moment of identity where the entire Agerola community celebrates its rural and artisanal expertise, welcoming thousands of visitors from the coast and the Campania hinterland every year.

Taste, Music, and Folk Tradition

For four days, the Piazzale San Pietro Apostolo in Pianillo comes alive with food stalls where you can sample fiordilatte in all its forms, from traditional dishes to local desserts. The program alternates between tasting sessions and folk music performances, featuring town bands, folk groups, and evening concerts that draw a large, festive crowd. The event concludes with a spectacular fireworks display.
