Sagra della Favò di Ozein
Two days of taste, tradition, and dancing in the village of Ozein, dedicated to the signature dish of Aosta Valley cuisine
About Sagra della Favò
The Favò, signature dish of the Aosta Valley
The Sagra della Favò takes place in Ozein, a picturesque mountain hamlet in the Municipality of Aymavilles, in the Aosta Valley. The star is the Favò, one of the most characteristic dishes of Aosta Valley cuisine: a hearty first course made with pasta, Fontina cheese, black bread toasted in butter, sausage, pancetta, and broad beans. A peasant dish, created to warm and nourish, that tells the rural soul of these valleys.
The "Veillà" and Ancient Crafts
The heart of the sagra is the "Ozeinta Veillà", the traditional Saturday evening gathering in the village: crafts, local products, old-fashioned games, and ancient trades come alive among the stone houses of Ozein, recreating the atmosphere of evenings past. A journey into the rural memory of the Aosta Valley that gives the event an authentic flavor.
Taste, Music, and Local Collaborations
The sagra combines the tasting of Favò with live music dance evenings, children's entertainment, a mini hill climb, and moments of insight into local history. In recent years, the Ozein Favò has been enhanced by collaboration with the "Jambon alla Brace" Association of Saint-Oyen, which offers grilled ham as an accompaniment to the main dish.
An Event by the Municipality of Aymavilles
Organized by the Pro Loco of Aymavilles, the cultural association La Tornalla d'Ozein, and the Municipality of Aymavilles, the sagra is one of the most cherished gastronomic events of the Aosta Valley summer, in a territory also known for its castle and the vineyards of the Aosta Valley Region.
