Partinico in Tavola

A festival dedicated to the authentic taste of Partinico

Located in the heart of the Belice Valley and the province of Palermo, Partinico in Tavola is a food and wine event that tells the story of the territory through its most iconic products. Promoted by the PROMETEO Cultural Association with the patronage of the Municipality of Partinico and the Sicilian Region, the festival is more than just a food fair; it is a journey that weaves together history, craftsmanship, and food culture. The headquarters is the prestigious Palazzo dei Carmelitani, complemented by the evocative Real Cantina Borbonica for more immersive gastronomic experiences.

Two events, two iconic products

The festival takes place at different times throughout the year, each dedicated to a specialty that is part of the collective memory of Partinico:

• Salsiccia pasqualora: an iconic local product recognized as a Slow Food Presidium. It is the star of the autumn edition (October), featuring tastings of sausage paired with local wines.
• Cassatedda di ciciri: a traditional sweet filled with chickpea cream, historically linked to the Feast of Saint Joseph and awarded the PAT (Traditional Agri-food Product) label. It is the focus of the June edition, a weekend celebrating its history and identity.

Showcooking, tastings, and storytelling

The event format combines culinary pleasure with cultural enrichment. The program includes showcooking with pastry chefs and producers, guided tastings, commercial stalls featuring local producers, and talks and insights into the history of these products. It involves historic pastry shops, producers, and local cultural entities, turning every edition into an opportunity to rediscover recipes passed down through generations, from the hands of grandmothers to those of artisans.

A heritage to protect

More than just a showcase, Partinico in Tavola is an act of preservation: behind every product lies a community defending a piece of its history. The salsiccia pasqualora and the cassatedda di ciciri are not merely specialties to be tasted, but cultural symbols of Partinico, a city in the province of Palermo that uses this festival to promote its territory and traditions in a contemporary light.
