Feast of the Olive
In Brisighella - in the midst of a hilly landscape that protects people, animals and plants from the cold winds - around 300 olive growers cultivate about 70,000 olive trees on an area of 300 hectares.
Hand-picked and cold-pressed, their fruit, mostly of the Nostrana variety, produces the best olive oil with a peppery, pungent flavor, which was awarded the DOP seal of quality as early as 1996.
Every November, the inhabitants of the small town of 8,000 inhabitants dedicate a small folk festival to the product honored in this way - with tasting and sales stands, music and dancing.
In addition to the oil, other local agricultural products are also presented - first and foremost the wine: Sangiovese and Merlot, Albana di Romagna or Pignoletti are the names of the grapes from which mostly strong-aromatic wines are produced.
