The 24th Struppolo Festival in San Salvatore Telesino

Tradition and flavors in the heart of Sannio

From September 4th to 6th, the village of San Salvatore Telesino celebrates the twenty-fourth edition of the Struppolo Festival. The event is a significant highlight in the autumn calendar of the Telesina Valley, offering a direct immersion into Sannite culinary traditions.

The core of the event is dedicated to promoting the struppolo, a delicacy with roots deep in local gastronomic memory. The festival transforms the historic center into an open-air tasting path, where conviviality meets the rediscovery of ancient peasant recipes.

A local gastronomic experience

The format follows the dynamics of village street food, allowing visitors to taste local specialties in an informal setting. Alongside the struppolo, the food and wine offerings include a selection of meats from local farms, aged cheeses, and cured meats prepared using artisanal techniques. The experience is completed by a variety of traditional desserts, reflecting the rich confectionery heritage of the Benevento area.

The location, situated in the charming urban setting of San Salvatore Telesino, allows visitors to appreciate the historic value of the center. The local architecture serves as a natural backdrop, giving the event an atmosphere suspended between past and present, ideal for a diverse audience seeking authentic zero-kilometer products.

Innovation and entertainment: the Family Edition

For the current edition, the organizers of the Pro Loco have introduced a significant innovation: the Family Edition. This version of the event aims to make the festival accessible to younger visitors through a dedicated entertainment program.

The squares and streets of the village will be animated by performances from street artists and animation sessions designed specifically for families. To complete the evening program, live music will set the pace for the nights, providing a constant accompaniment to the tastings. It is a structured proposal aimed at combining the rigor of food and wine promotion with the leisure needs of a varied public.

The event will take place on September 4th, 5th, and 6th. For further details regarding the full program, access to tasting areas, and any logistical changes, it is recommended to consult the official channels of the Pro Loco of San Salvatore Telesino.
