About Taleggio Festival
Taleggio Celebrated in its Homeland
The Taleggio Cheese Festival takes place in Peghera, one of the hamlets of the scattered municipality of Taleggio, in the valley of the same name in the Province of Bergamo. It is the festival that celebrates Taleggio DOP in its place of origin: the Val Taleggio, the historic center for the production and aging of this soft-paste cheese known throughout Italy.
Cheesemaking, Tastings, and Tradition
The heart of the event is the story of the cheese: cheesemaking demonstrations that show the milk processing live, moments dedicated to aging, and tastings that allow you to sample Taleggio and the valley's products. Around this, traditional music and dancing liven up the day, in an atmosphere of popular celebration.
The Val Taleggio and its Flavors
The Val Taleggio, behind the Valle Brembana, is a valley of mountain pastures and dairies where the dairy tradition is still alive. The festival enhances this heritage and the link between the product and its territory, offering visitors the chance to discover ancient aging cellars and cheese culture.
A Festival for the Whole Family
Also designed for families and children, the Taleggio Cheese Festival combines taste, education, and folklore. It is an event that attracts the curious and food and wine enthusiasts, contributing to the recognition of Peghera and the entire Municipality of Taleggio.
