Molise is a land full of surprises: natural landscapes, ancient villages, and above all, authentic flavors—where cheese-making reaches its peak with Casearia. Among the events that best represent this identity is Casearia, the great fair dedicated to Italian cheeses, which every year transforms Agnone, in Alto Molise, into a landmark for enthusiasts, producers, and curious travelers alike.
The green, unspoiled pastures of Alto Molise have made this area a cradle of dairy production for centuries. Here, specialties such as caciocavallo, scamorza, and fiordilatte are born—cheeses that embody an ancient knowledge passed down through generations.
Casearia celebrates this very heritage, bringing together dozens of exhibitors from all over Italy and offering tastings, show cooking, masterclasses, and meetings focused on the culture of milk and the quality of artisanal products.
Taking part in Casearia means enjoying an experience that combines taste with discovery. Beyond the exhibitors’ stands and tastings, visitors to Agnone can immerse themselves in the authentic atmosphere of a medieval village and explore unique landmarks, such as the Pontifical Marinelli Bell Foundry—the oldest in the world still producing bells, and a symbol of Molise’s artisan tradition.
The event is also the perfect opportunity to explore Alto Molise, a land of forests, valleys, and untouched highlands—ideal for nature lovers and those who embrace a slower pace.
The fair is not just a gastronomic event but also a way to connect with the most genuine soul of Molise—a place where food, nature, and culture intertwine in rare harmony. From traditional cheeses to mountain hikes, from tastings to meeting producers, every experience becomes part of an itinerary that blends flavor with beauty.
