Pianura Golosa
The food and wine market of the Veronese Plain in Cerea, with the Palio della Stortina Veronese
About Pianura Golosa
The excellences of the Veronese Plain
Pianura Golosa is the food and wine market held at Area Exp in Cerea, in the province of Verona, dedicated to the gastronomic excellences of the Veronese Plain. Over 80 producers from the area animate the Piazza dei Sapori with a dining area and specialty stands, in a three-day event celebrating local food culture.
The Palio della Stortina Veronese
The heart of the exhibition is the Palio della Stortina Veronese, a Slow Food presidium that awards the best producer of this particular traditional peasant salami, preserved under ground lard and salt in terracotta containers. The competition is organized by the Slow Food Valli Grandi Veronesi branch together with Pro Loco Cerea.
Culture, sport, and conviviality
The program complements the gastronomy with exhibitions such as Trame d'impresa, presentations of guides to typical eateries, dance evenings, the Piase Gravel cycling event, and the Sapori e Paesaggi di Cerea walk. An early spring event that tells the agro-food identity of Cerea and the Bassa Veronese.
