Mostra del Bitto

The Bitto cheese fair in Morbegno

The Mostra del Bitto is the historic cheese fair in Morbegno (Province of Sondrio), dedicated to the famous Bitto, a symbolic cheese of Valtellina produced in the alpine pastures according to an ancient tradition. With over a hundred editions, it is one of the most important and long-standing agri-food events in the Alps, attracting producers, experts, and gourmets from all over Italy to Morbegno.

Tastings, competitions, and workshops

During the event, the historic center transforms into a large village of taste: the highlights include tastings of Bitto and other typical Valtellina cheeses and products, cheese competitions that award the best wheels, workshops, and activities for children. It's an opportunity to get to know the work in the alpine pastures and the cheese-making culture of a territory that has made Bitto a recognized excellence.

A tradition that heralds autumn

Traditionally held on the third weekend of October, the Mostra del Bitto is one of the events that mark the autumn in Valtellina, accompanied by music, entertainment, and markets. For a few days, Morbegno becomes the capital of taste, in a celebration that combines the valorization of local products with the pleasure of conviviality, in the heart of Bassa Valtellina.
