PRESS RELEASE (10/07/2014)
Loano's summer offers tasty pretexts for discovering the flavors of local cuisine. Festivals provide an opportunity to taste typical products and dishes that are the result of traditions and popular culture.
July 11 and 12,on the waterfront of Loano, near the Sea Workers' Cottage will take place the traditional Crostolo Festival.
For two days, “Crostoli” and “Fugassin” will be packed and fried in more than 200 liters of oil around the large steel frying pan over 2 meters in diameter.
On the first day, from 5 p.m., you can enjoy the “Crostoli”, a typical sweet of the Riviera, similar to “bugie” or “chiacchere,” whose dough is made with flour, eggs, sugar, yeast water and flavorings.
On the second day, again starting in the afternoon, frying in the frying pan will be “Fugassin,” a savory dough made of flour, water, yeast, olive oil and flavorings. Served hot they may be accompanied by bacon.
Mixing the ingredients, according to traditional recipes handed down from generation to generation, will be the expert cooks of the’Crostolo Festival Association.
