Join Market Hall Foods outside Rockridge Market Hall on Saturday, Sept. 28, from noon to 3pm, for a day of free, family-friendly festivities dedicated to Crucolo, an Italian cheese from the Trentino-Alto Adige region.
Market Hall Foods is one of two shops in the United States that sells this creamy cow's milk cheese. To celebrate its arrival, our expert cheesemongers, dressed in Italian garb, roll a cart carrying the gigantic Crucolo wheel down Shafter Avenue to live accordion music, dancing and fanfare. The parade starts at noon promptly and ends with a ceremonial cheese cutting and plenty of samples to go around. Last year, we sold half the wheel at our Crucolo event—this year we expect to sell the entire wheel in one day, so if you love Crucolo, be sure to be there to get your piece!
In addition to Crucolo, we'll have plenty more Italian specialties to taste and take home, including Rustichella d'Abruzzo pasta, prosciutto, Italian wine from Paul Marcus Wines, Torta della Nonna from Market Hall Bakery and more.
