Gorgonzola Festival 2010 dates: September 2010 (exact dates TBA)
The annual Gorgonzola Festival takes place each September in the Italian town of Gorgonzola.
Called the Sagra Nazionale del Gorgonzola in Italian, the Gorgonzola Festival is now in its 12th year. Each year the town’s high street, Via Italia, and other areas of Gorgonzola come alive for three days in September to celebrate the cheese that bears its name.
The Gorgonzola Festival features Gorgonzola vendors with booths of mouth watering cheese and freshly baked bread, all of which can be sampled by the visitor. There are also cheese making demonstrations and arts and crafts vendors.
If you are visiting the Gorgonzola Festival you can get a pass, which allows you to get a free sample of some of the recipes being cooked in the booths.
Getting to the Gorgonzola festival from Milan is easy. The town of Gorgonzola is so close to Milan that it’s on the Green Line (Line 2) of the Milan metro.
If you’re a true foodie, consider extending your trip to visit the Alba White Truffle Festival, which takes place each year in October and November in Alba, Italy. It’s a short drive from Milan and well worth the trip.
