Of particular prestige is the “Favò” Festival that is held there each year in July in Ozein, a hamlet of Aymavilles. The festival started out life assessing this delightful dish, the Favò, whose ingredients are typically mountainous: pasta, fontina cheese, black bread toasted in butter, sausage, bacon and delicious broad beans.
The delights to one’s palate are accompanied by an atmosphere from the past where the entire village relives old, and often forgotten, trades; the dairyman, the carpenter, the sculptor, skilled weavers…..everyone then lets their hair down with folk dances and songs.
