Sardinia’s tastes

Tour Highlights

Cradle of Nuragic civilization, Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. The keeper of a story that makes it an island of unique ethnic and linguistic peculiarities.

Everything here seems to be different from the rest of Italy: the food, the buildings, from music to language. This journey will take us to discover ancient knowledge and tastes, dialects and traditions, but at the same time varied landscapes, arts and crafts of one of the most famous Italian places.

Sardinian traditional cuisine is simple. Based on natural ingredients, but also rich, thanks to the variety of the area able to offer fresh products in every season. It’s also very creative, ready to daring combinations but always well done. The culinary tradition of Sardinia, despite her being island is not only or mainly marine, not being Sardinia is a land of fishermen only, and having always been cautious the relationship between the Sardinians and the sea.

Sardinian cuisine is indeed first of all linked to the shepherds and peasants. We will find out meat, cheeses, breads in different shapes, sweet cheese, almonds and honey, wines and spirits reminiscent of the flavors and scents of the Mediterranean . But when land and sea meet, where the fishing tradition is strong, the results are stunning, like the case of Bottarga. Follow us on Facebook!
