The town of Bra in Piedmont, famous for its Italian cheese and the Slow Food movement, is currently hosting the Slow Food Cheese Italian food festival.
Autum in Italy is THE season for food festivals, so you’d best get your calendar planned.
Bra is famous for Carlo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food movement and the world’s first University of Gastromic Sciences.
The cheese festival sees the town’s historic centre turned into a cheese market, in a space more than 3,000 metres square.
The Italian cheese festival hosts over 160 stalls with cheeses coming from around the world to represent their country.
The cheese hall hosts some of the world’s most prized cheeses, with more than 130 varieties on display.
If you’re going, make sure you taste your cheese with some great Italian wine – we recommend a nebbiolo from the Langhe.
