Italian food fair comes to Wokingham
Visiting the United Kingdom for the first time, a genuine Italian Market will be making its first stop in Wokingham town centre next week - Friday 4 and Saturday 5 July.
The real Italian market will be in the Market Place, Wokingham between 9am and 5pm and shoppers can be tempted with a range of Italian produce including cheese such as Parmesan, Gorgonzola, and goat’s cheese, and cured meats such as Parma ham and beef bresaola. As well as olive oils from different regions of Italy, there will also be balsamic vinegars, speciality breads and a wide range of pasta.
Also available will be olives of the finest quality including some from Sicily and large green olives from Napoli to name just a few. There will be biscuits, cakes and pastries including the classic Dolci Pasticceria and different types of strudels, crackers and breadsticks.
Also on sale at the Italian Market will be Torrone – a famous cake invented in Cremona, Italy late last century. It’s best described as soft nougat and comes in 33 different flavours.
Visitors to the Wokingham market can also take advantage of the hot food on sale including Arancini, which are rice balls filled with various fillings such as spinach, cheese and ham. As well as food, there will be clothes stalls.
Brian Newman, town centre manager, said: “This is really a great coup for Wokingham as the Italian Food Market is only touring the UK for three months and they have not been seen by anyone in the country before arriving in Wokingham.
“Visitors will be able to explore the delights of the 15 stalls and there will be something that suits all food and wine lovers’ tastes. It promises to be a great few days in Wokingham town centre.”
