Maialata 2014

“LE TAVOLE CREMASCHE” Restaurateurs Association wants to enhance, let you know and export the tradition of the Crema cuisine, a kitchen that in winter favors pork. With the cooks of the Association, the culinary excellences of virtuous artisans and producers arrives quickly on the tables of the restaurants, proposed in dishes that are able to mix the historic kitchen of the plain with innovative stimuli, to let know and love culinary traditions and ingredients of this happy place of ours.

Here are, then, at fixed dates, following the natural pace of the seasons, our food and wine events:

February 1st to March 9th, the restaurateurs of the Association offering “LA MAIALATA 2014”.

The culinary event, now in its 17th edition, is deeply linked to the territory, to the good habit of raising pigs independently and of slaughtering them in the house with the help of a skilled butcher (norcino), without forgetting that in this cold time of the year, at the table it is a good habit “... to make the pig”, to get abundant supply of protein and fat before the long and healthy Lenten fast.

In 2014 the Festival coincides with the events related to the CARNIVAL OF CREMA (www.carnevaledicrema.it), to enhance our gastronomic proposals with a great event that has always been part of the tradition of Crema, one of the greatest and participated carnivals in Lombardy, with the constant presence of the mask named “al Gagèt cò sò Uchet”.The Gagèt is distinguished by its black dress (scapat), usually the wedding one, worn on special occasions. He wears showy socks and a red and white rosette, the colors of the city. He wears a hat, wooden shoes, a neckerchief, according to the strictest peasant tradition. He bears in his arm a “curbèla con l’oca”, a basket with a goose to sale at the market.
