About Sagra del Baccalà alla Vicentina
Vicenza-style cod arrives in Valcuvia
In Grantola, a small municipality in Valcuvia in the province of Varese, there's a September event that tells a curious gastronomic story connecting Lombardy and Veneto: the Sagra del Baccalà alla Vicentina, organized by the Pro Loco of Grantola at the town's Area Feste. The signature dish is baccalà alla vicentina, a Venetian tradition specialty made from stockfish slowly cooked with milk, onion, and cheese.
A weekend of taste
The sagra is concentrated over a weekend, usually in the first half of September. The food stand opens on Saturday evening and continues on Sunday at lunchtime, with the option to purchase the cod for take-away. It's a festival suitable for all ages, focused on conviviality and the authentic flavour of this preparation.
Music and dancing
Alongside the food, on Saturday evening the festival comes alive with music: in recent editions, the dancing evening has featured a DJ with a mix of liscio, Latin, and revival music, to get participants dancing. A mix that combines gastronomy and popular entertainment.
An established tradition
The Sagra del Baccalà alla Vicentina di Grantola reached its ninth edition in 2024, a sign of an event that is now well-rooted. The Pro Loco of Grantola, active throughout the year with a program of initiatives, is its organizer. To discover Valcuvia and its flavours, the sagra is an excellent end-of-summer opportunity.
