Tortellini Festival in Castelfranco Emilia with a Local Chef

4 hours (approximately)

Step into the heart of Emilia’s culinary tradition with a local chef and pasta maker at the celebration of Sagra del Tortellino in Castelfranco Emilia, now in its 44th edition. Learn about the food of this beloved festival, among the most authentic food in the region.

For over ten days, the town comes alive with cultural events, concerts, sporting and above all, the celebration of its most treasured dish: the Tortellino of Castelfranco Emilia. This legendary pasta—hand-rolled with a mattarello and folded one by one by the master sfogline—is served in the most traditional way, in a rich capon broth.

The tortellino embodies centuries of tradition: a delicate square of fresh egg pasta filled with pork loin, prosciutto, mortadella, Parmigiano Reggiano, nutmeg, and pepper, carefully twisted into its iconic shape. At the festival, you’ll taste this little masterpiece alongside other food and wine specialties of Modena’s countryside.
Join the locals in celebrating the Sagra del Tortellino.
