26° Fiera carrettesca e festa del Roccaverano Dop

The Carrettesca Fair and the Festa del Roccaverano DOP take place in the charming village of Roccaverano, in Piedmont, to celebrate the prized Roccaverano DOP cheese and the gastronomic excellences of the area. Roccaverano DOP is a goat cheese unique of its kind, produced exclusively with whole raw goat's milk. Its flavor is intense and distinctive, with pleasant herbal notes and a slight acidity; the aroma is fresh and delicate, with hints of goat's milk that intensify with aging, also affecting the texture. Fresh, the cheese is soft and creamy, while aged it can become firmer and even slightly crumbly. Some producers, with an eye to innovation, also experiment with particular aging techniques, such as the addition of local aromatic herbs or aging in natural caves, which give the cheese unique nuances of flavor and aroma. The event is an opportunity to get to know the world of Roccaverano DOP up close, directly from the producers. During the day, guided tastings are organized in which visitors can sample the different aging stages of the
