Traditional Sardinian products online

Like many Italian regions, even Sardinia also has its traditional dishes, which you can easily buy online at the Arcobaleno Food Srl website. Let's take a look at a selection of the rich Sardinian food products to enjoy everyday and during the holiday seasons.

Traditional Sardinian products: honey

Long time ago Sardinian honey was produced in rustic hives where bees were gathered, and even today honey production is strongly linked to its territory. The most valuable unifloral nectars are strawberry tree honey: amber-colored and bitter-tasting with antiseptic properties, and asphodel honey, thistle and eucalyptus honey: each one with its own special characteristics. This last one is particularly known for its balsamic properties and used as a remedy for colds and bronchitis.

Among the less common Sardinian honeys there is clover, heather and rosemary: traditional plants of the Mediterranean area.

The fregola: a traditional Sardinian dish

When you mention Sardinia you think of fregola: a preparation made from durum wheat semolina and water from Campidano. The semolina is processed in a large terracotta pot into small balls until it absorbs all the water. It is then dried in the oven and cooked as a risotto or soup.

Sardinian culurgiones

In Ogliastra, culurgiones are a variety of ravioli made with flour, water and potatoes or sour cheese: casu de fitta. They are enclosed at the ends with a spiked shape ending in a pointed cornet.

The bread of Sardinia or Carasau bread.

One of the most popular breads of Sardinia is the carasau bread also known by tourists as "music paper", given its very thin of no more than three millimeters. It is produced in the interior areas of the island, and guttiau is made from this bread. This is a carasau bread "drizzled" with extra virgin olive oil and seasoned with salt, then placed in the oven to dry for a few moments. Like carasau bread, guttiau bread is excellent to be enjoyed as an appetizer or to pair traditional Sardinian dishes.

The botargo

Botargo, consumed not only in Sardinia, is a dish made from salted and dried fish eggs, to be made from mullet or tuna. Depending on the type of eggs, the flavor and color of the recipe will vary, and it is a must try if you want to know 100% about the Sardinian food tradition.

These are definitely the top Sardinian dishes, but they are not the only ones you can find at Arcobaleno Food Srl, which has always been the specialized store where you can find excellent regional food products.
