Festa della Noce

In Cavrasto the arches of the old farmhouses are turned into little shops for local produce. The whole village turns into a large food and wine community where the Bleggio walnut plays a starring role, either on its own or in fragrant cakes, bread, a walnut liqueur, and the rare walnut salami.
