The Sagra del Mirtillo (Blueberry Harvest Festival) is a long-standing event in the Bognanco Valley, held every year to celebrate the beloved little berries which grow in the mountains of the Ossola Valley. Used not only to make classic sweet treats, like fruit tarts, pastries and jams, blueberries become the star ingredient of more innovative recipes, creating delicious rice or pasta courses and meat-based dishes; have you ever tried blueberry risotto?
Visitors to the Bognanco Blueberry Harvest Festival can sample exquisite specialities from the wide array of exhibitors and food stands. Crowds of local craftsmen display their unique products, made with passion and skill, whilst live music performances and children’s activities make the Blueberry Harvest Festival a jam-packed event, just one of many scheduled in the varied seasonal SagreOssola programme.
