Spiedo Bresciano – Azzano Mella
The traditional lunch with the spit of the Brescian tradition
About Spiedo Bresciano
The spit, flagship dish of the Bresciano
The Spiedo Bresciano is one of the most deeply rooted preparations in the gastronomic tradition of the Province of Brescia: different types of meat, skewered on long spits and slowly cooked for many hours, invariably accompanied by polenta. In Azzano Mella, a town in the Brescian plain along the Mella river, the event dedicated to the spit attracts those who want to rediscover this festive dish in its most authentic version.
A community lunch
The event is designed as a convivial lunch: people gather around the table to share the spit cooked according to the long tradition. It is an opportunity to taste a preparation that requires patience and skill, in a typical village atmosphere of Brescian cuisine.
