About White Onion Isernia
A tribute to the white onion
The Isernia White Onion Festival is the food and wine event that, in the historic center of the capital of Molise, celebrates the most representative agricultural product of the territory: the Isernia white onion, with its sweet flavor and flattened bulb. A recent but already popular event, it complements the historic Onion Fair by offering a more contemporary and culinary interpretation.
Flavors and conviviality
The program revolves around food stalls offering typical dishes and tastings based on white onion, accompanied by local products. Culinary contests and moments dedicated to promoting the product, in collaboration with local producers and food and wine businesses, are also featured.
Music and families in the historic center
The festival is punctuated by live music and activities designed for children and families, transforming the squares of Isernia's center into a meeting place. It is organized by the Comitato Centro Storico Isernia (Isernia Historic Center Committee) and confirms itself year after year as one of the most vibrant events of the Isernia summer, capable of combining taste, tradition, and entertainment.
