Lentil Festival

Every year Ventotene celebrates the island's product of excellence with the Lentil Festival.

The event is an opportunity to celebrate but also to relive the customs of the past and the traditions related to harvesting lentils, which is carried out strictly by hand and with only the help of the wind.

You can discover the quality of this legume guaranteed by the particular characteristics of the soil, which is of volcanic origin, and the fact that its crops face the sea, which imparts the product with a unique flavour.

Come enjoy culinary specialties prepared with Ventotene lentils and learn more about the island's beauty.
