As every summer, for more than 70 years, the traditional National Hazelnut Fair takes place in Cortemilia.
This event, created to joyfully celebrate a premier product of Langhe, has over time been enriched with folkloric moments, spectacular and cultural ones that have made it a reference point for a very wide audience, which goes beyond the borders of Piedmont.
For 2026, the Fair will take place from August 22 to 30 with a very rich program.
Cortemilia
Cortemilia is located in the center of the main Piedmont Hazelnut production area, and because of this, the “Queen Tonda Gentile of the Langhe” finds its natural home and a heartfelt passion for its processing and use.
Here, as stated in the Catalog of Traditional Agri-food Products, the production of the famous “Hazelnut Cake” is said to have been born and certainly established, made known in Italy and abroad by local master pastry chefs.
