Mercedes, provincia de Buenos Aires, celebra desde este viernes 21 con la llegada de la primavera hasta el domingo 2 la Fiesta Nacional de Salame Quintero. Como te adelantó Fiestas y Caminos (http://fiestasycaminos.com.ar/ante-el-pronostico-de-lluvias-se-reprogramo-la-fiesta-del-salame-quintero-de-mercedes/) contará con una tentadora carpa de chacinados y una importante agenda de espectáculos.

Esta es la 44° edición de esta esperada celebración. Pero ¿cómo nació?

Mercedes desde mediados del siglo XIX fue recibiendo inmigrantes que llegaban de Italia y preferentemente se radicaron en la zona periférica, formando las prestigiosas quintas que hoy rodean a toda la ciudad.

Muchas de esas quintas son hoy reliquia de un pasado de fecunda actividad productiva, especializándose en la producción de frutas y hortalizas.

Los inmigrantes, trajeron también las costumbres de la alimentación; allí los quinteros se hicieron famosos por la calidad del chacinado, que producían para uso y consumo familiar. De ahí viene la calidad y variedad del procesamiento del salame, bondiola, chorizo, morcilla, etc.; que del cerdo bien alimentado se podían lograr. En especial el Salame Quintero, con un 80% de cerdo y un 20% de vaca en sus mejores cortes (lomo), el tocino cortado a cuchillo, la pimienta en grano y los distintos ingredientes según la receta que muy cuidadosamente los productores no develan.

Si a lo antedicho se suma la producción del famoso vino quintero, participar de una mesa así servida era, un acontecimiento digno del mejor paladar.

Allá por el año 1969 un grupo de amigos reunidos en el almacén de Berterreix, de calle 29 y 42, lanzaron la idea de hacer la Fiesta del Salame. La idea cundió y fue entonces que bajo la Intendencia Municipal del Dr. Julio César Gioscio, se le encomendó a Dn. Ulises D’Andrea la tarea de organizar este evento, que con el tiempo se transformaría en un acontecimiento anual.

Así desde 1975, hasta hoy la Fiesta Del Salame Quintero se desarrolla ininterrumpidamente con mucho éxito. Este acontecimiento tiene la particularidad de convocar a familias que llegan a Mercedes para saborear el mejor chacinado.

La primera Fiesta, tuvo lugar en la sede del Club Ateneo de la Juventud, en 29 y 22, y de a allí en más y por la cantidad de comensales (la mayoría venía de otros lados, Capital Federal y el resto de la provincia de Buenos Aires) tuvo que buscarse un lugar más amplio, como lo fue en su momento el Polideportivo Municipal. A partir del año 2001 se amplio a 3 dias y se realiza en el Instituto Martin Rodríguez, con un gran patio de comidas, feria artesanal, exposicion de productores y números artísticos de primer nivel.

La Fiesta desde la primera Edición contó con un atractivo muy particular, como es el Concurso del Salame, donde un promedio de 40 productores locales, participan con lo mejor de su producción. Una vez premiados, los productos se exponen y rematan, el dinero que se recauda se destina la cooperadora de alguna entidad mercedina –Bomberos, Hospital Blas L. Dubarry.

Este evento anual convoca a autoridades de nivel nacional, provincial, empresarial, artístico, que dan realce al evento que tiene como fecha anual el segundo fin de semana del mes de setiembre.
