The king of mushrooms celebrated in the Parmense Apennines. September weekends in a forest town.
Plan your Italy trip →The porcini mushrooms of Borgotaro hold IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) status — one of the few mushrooms in Italy with protected denomination. The sagra celebrates them in every form: risotto ai funghi porcini, tagliatelle ai porcini, porcini trifolati (sautéed), fried porcini, porcini with polenta. The aroma of sautéing porcini fills the town's medieval streets.
Borgotaro sits in the Apennines between Parma and La Spezia. Forested mountains, autumn fog, medieval stone buildings. The combination of wild mushroom cuisine + mountain atmosphere + Emilia-Romagna's general food excellence makes this one of Italy's most satisfying autumn food weekends.
