In Serralunga d’Alba we celebrate the “cugnà”

From 21st to 29th September 2013 an event in the heart of the Langhe, a reference of excellence in the world of the gastronomy.

Cugna

The Tourist Association Pro Loco of Serralunga d’Alba promotes, from 21st to 29th September 2013, a food and wine event to celebrate the “cugnà”, a traditional preparation (sauce, jam, mustard), which today is considered a delicacy to accompany the traditional Piedmont’s dishes and cheese, but which was once a real dish, prepared in every home before the long winter, for its natural long shelf.

The event, which will see the collaboration of the producers associated with the Bottega del Vino in Serralunga and restaurateurs of the town, will be divided into several appointments:

From Saturday 21st to Sunday 29th September the restaurants of Serralunga will propose a list of dishes based on cugnà, with presentations and recipes that mark the style of typical local dishes.

Saturday 28th September at the Castle of Serralunga will be held on the opening session of the event in the presence of the representations of association for the protection of the best products (ex. hazelnut and pears madernassa) used for the preparation.

Sunday 29th September the historic center of Serralunga will stage a show with all the local products: wines, cheese, meat and fruits of the earth presented by small producers, located in Piazza Umberto I, Via Roma and Via Mazzini . A space will be entirely dedicated to gastronomy with dishes based on cugnà.
