FAIR OF OIL DOP
(November)
Began in 1997, the fair became ,through the years, an important landmark, not only for the olive growing of the territory but also of the region.
The fair directly involves the communes’ territory that constitute the areal of Dop Cartoceto.
The exhibition is organized by Cartoceto’s Pro-Loco together with the commune of Cartoceto and the sponsorship of the region Marches and the Province of Pesaro-Urbino.
During the fair, the oilpresses and the cellers of the territory are open to visitors; Garibaldi’s Square, the centre of the fair, is reserved for gastronomic stands which shows the territory’s typical produce that can also be tasted in the old taverns, opened for this occasion in the old town centre.
Cartoceto is also, during the fair, a venue for exhibits and meetings to celebrate its most precious produce: the olive and the oil.
