Sagra del pisello

Place: Casalborgone When spring arrives in the hills of the lower Monferrato, Casalborgone comes alive to celebrate one of the season’s most delicate and appreciated legumes: the pea. The Sagra del Pisello is a precious opportunity to promote a local crop that has characterized the area for generations, standing out for its natural sweetness and superior quality. It is not simple gardening that enlivens this festival, but the recognition of an agricultural heritage that tells the very identity of this community. During the three days of the event, from 22 to 24 May, the food stalls transform the town into an arena where peasant cooking takes center stage. From the dish of pasta with freshly picked peas to the simplest recipes that enhance its genuine flavor, every preparation is a tribute to seasonality and authentic ingredients. Local chefs and stall managers offer dishes that tell the culinary tradition of Monferrato, making the pea the ingredient that connects the past with the present. Beyond the flavors, the Sagra del Pisello offers much more: live music, performances and moments of entertainmen
