The Malga Gnocchi Festival in Valdiporro: A Taste of Lessinia

From July 24th to 26th, the village of Valdiporro hosts a tribute to one of the most authentic gastronomic treasures of the region: the Malga gnocchi. Also known as “sbatui”, these gnocchi embody the traditional wisdom of the Lessini Mountains. Once the staple diet of shepherds during the summer grazing season, they are now a cornerstone of local culinary culture, crafted from flour, water, and salt, and finished with the distinct richness of butter and smoked ricotta.

The festival takes place within an 800-square-meter covered facility, ensuring the event proceeds regardless of weather conditions. Alongside the culinary offerings, which highlight seasonal and wholesome ingredients, visitors can enjoy a vibrant musical program ranging from 90s cover bands to rockabilly rhythms. For those wishing to delve deeper into the roots of this region, we recommend exploring the Lessinia Tour, an ideal experience for discovering the iconic landmarks of these mountains overlooking the Veronese plains.
