Sagra della Capra e Fagioli
The star dish of Val Nervia in the medieval alleyways
About Sagra della Capra e Fagioli
A dish from mountain tradition
In Rocchetta Nervina, a village in the hinterland of the Imperia province, the Sagra della Capra e Fagioli celebrates one of the most characteristic specialties of the Val Nervia. The slow-cooked stewed goat is served with Pigna beans, a Slow Food presidium cultivated in the nearby valleys, in a dish that tells the story of the simple yet flavorful cuisine of these lands.
Local flavors and products
In addition to the main dish, the festival showcases local excellences: the DOC Rossese di Dolceacqua wine, extra virgin Taggiasca olive oil, and toasted bread crostini. The gastronomic evening is enlivened by live music, creating a convivial atmosphere that attracts locals and visitors from all over the valley.
Among the village's alleyways
The festival takes place in the heart of Rocchetta Nervina, a village with characteristic medieval alleyways and stone bridges, considered one of the most beautiful in the Ligurian western hinterland. The sagra is the ideal opportunity to discover this authentic corner of Val Nervia, far from coastal tourism.
