Italian mountain cheese festivals and industry events

Overview

Various mountain cheese festivals and competitions are scheduled across Italy. In Asiago, the Made in Malga 2026 event reported increased visitor attendance and producer turnover, with subsequent programming including masterclasses on European blue cheeses and Turkish Kars cheeses. Additionally, the Fiormaggi competition is set for October in Valle Camonica to evaluate cheeses produced from free-range cow, sheep, or goat milk.

In the Carnia region, the village of Sutrio will host the ForMandi festival on October 18. The event features tastings from approximately twenty mountain farms and artisanal markets. Beyond gastronomy, the festival includes a conference titled ‘La voce delle malghe’ (The Voice of the Mountain Farms) to address sustainability, tourism, and the role of mountain pastures in biodiversity and geological stability.
