It is known, one does not live by bread alone....

Companatico is any food that accompanies bread during meals, and calatura is its corresponding in Calabrian terms. Whatever accompanies the bread, then, helping it to drop into the stomach - olives, cheese, soppressata, capicollo - hopefully washed down with a glass of wine.

Doors open to the flavors of yesteryear

We are talking about the eating of the people, and that is why in Palermiti, wanting to recreate the atmosphere of the desinare of yesteryear, a diffuse setting was chosen, the streets of the village, the wrinkles, and those rooms, the catoj, that every house opened directly onto the pavement. Basement rooms, which served as cellars or sheds, but which on occasion also saw a gathering of friends around a table for a rustic snack.

From house to house, the village as a spontaneous museum

Some of these catoj were set up to revive the memory of times past. This was the case with the wine catojo, in which harvesting was once done, and the catojo with the utensils of the peasant day, but also the catojo of the folk school or that of the seamstress with the wedding dresses worn by who knows what ancestor.

Bread cut, pantries opened.

A month-long event in August, with interludes of popular culture and a gastronomic debut, in fact Bread and Chalade, from the most frugal bread and oregano to the most persuasive of cured meats, 'nduja, redolent of bell pepper and chili.
