Three days of DOP ham, truffle and oil from the Berici Hills in Nanto
In Nanto, a small municipality nestled in the Berici Hills in the province of Vicenza, one of the richest food and wine events in the area takes place every July: Prosciuttando together with L'Ulivo e il Tartufo dei Colli Berici. Two historic events — the 18th and 33rd editions respectively in 2026 — celebrating the three local excellences: Prosciutto Veneto Berico Euganeo DOP, Nanto's Tartufo Scorzone De.Co., and the extra virgin DOP olive oil from the Berici Hills.
At the Nanto sports facilities, the gastronomic stand offers dishes built around the area's DOP and De.Co. products, while the cooking shows with the "Giovani del Gusto" (Young Talents of Taste) feature local chefs working with ham, truffle, and oil. Among the most engaging activities are the guided tours of the "King's" ham factory, with a final tasting, by reservation and with limited places.
The evenings combine gastronomy with entertainment, featuring aperitifs, DJ sets, live music, and sports tournaments. Sunday is dedicated to nature with the "Nanto: la Riviera degli Ulivi" (Nanto: the Olive Riviera) walk, through the olive groves that shape the landscape of the Berici Hills, followed by the communal "Green Tour" lunch. Organized by the Pro Loco Nanto and GS Nanto, the festival is an opportunity to discover a territory where olive growing and truffle cultivation coexist with a great cured meat tradition.
The Prosciuttando 2026 festival (18th edition) and L'Ulivo e il Tartufo dei Colli Berici (33rd edition) will liven up Nanto from July 8th to 10th. The stars are the local products — Prosciutto Veneto Berico Euganeo DOP, De.Co. Scorzone Truffle, DOP EVO oil — celebrated with cooking shows, tastings, visits to ham factories, music, and sports. The grand finale on Sunday features a walk among the olive trees and a communal lunch.
