Fiera del Formaggio di Fossa – Sogliano al Rubicone, Italy
Sunday the 4th of December is the last Sunday in a series of three that celebrates the pit cheeses of Sogliano al Rubicone!
As in previous years the Fair will be held in Sogliano sul Rubicone in Italy´s Forlì-Cesena province on the outer edge of the Emilia-Romagna.
The event that traditionally attracts thousands of visitors will offer food stands with pit cheese as well as other typical products from Italy and the area. And of course it wouldn´t be a festival if there would not also be lots of tastings, wine and performances.
