Regional Food Fair Starts Thursday At La Rural

Argentina’s regional food fair, Caminos y Sabores, returns this weekend to La Rural. It’s a great chance to learn about food from across the country and to discover and buy goods from small and mid-sized producers.

This year’s edition, the fifth, will include 300 participants, some of whom belong to Terra Madre (www.terramadre.org), a network of more than  1500 communities from 150 countries. The network aims to rediscover regional food and promote quality production methods that are in harmony with nature.

Among the activities, there will be conferences and cooking demonstrations using tipical products from regions including Patagonia, Cuyo, and Tucuman, as well as Uruguay.

From 6-9pm daily, Terra Madre producers will hold expositions and show films related to the production and enjoyment of regional foods.

There will also be a competition among the participating producers — “experiencias de sabor” –  for extra virgin olive oil, cheese, and dulce de leche.

Hours: Noon until 9pm, Thursday thru Sunday
Entrance: Av. Sarmiento 2704
Cost: 20 pesos
