Cornàt Festival

When cuisine meets the aromas and flavours of the past

One of the most anticipated events of the summer is about to return to Sondalo: the Sagra del Cornàt, scheduled for Saturday 27 June at the tensile structure and green area of the Centro Polifunzionale.

The Sagra del Cornàt is a gathering point for the community, an opportunity to rediscover the authentic flavours of Valtellinese tradition and to share an evening marked by conviviality, organised with enthusiasm by the youth association Gli Sgangherati di Frontale, in collaboration with local associations.

PROGRAMME:

• From 18.00 onwards, it will be possible to step into a little world from “days gone by”, thanks to the area dedicated to traditional wooden games, created in collaboration with the Association Amici della Croce di Campiano of Grosotto. Creative workshops curated by Elena Pedranzini, entitled “Between imagination and tradition, every dish has something to tell”, will also come to life, designed to encourage manual skills, imagination and a connection with tradition.
• From 19.00, the ovens and kitchens will be lit to begin serving the Cornàt, prepared according to the original recipes preserved through generations. It will be possible to enjoy the savoury versions, such as the Cornàt in padéla typical of Frontale and Fiadarda, served with cured meats, cheeses and local salad, as well as the sweet varieties such as the Cornàt con i póm and the Fugascia with raisins, accompanied by wild chestnut cream and bilberry compote from Butéga Valtellina. Completing the experience will be the craft beers from Birrificio Revertis, perfect for accompanying an evening dedicated to local flavours.
• The celebration will then continue with music: karaoke, live music and a DJ set will accompany the audience until late evening thanks to Livia, the evening’s musical guest.
