Sardinian cuisine may be simple in its ingredients, but it’s packed with flavor and boldness: it all comes down to the island’s Mediterranean climate and how it positively affects agriculture, but also to its history. Over the centuries, Sardinian cuisine managed to maintain a very distinct and well-defined personality, perhaps also because of, well… its insularity.

A personality, however, that is as multifaceted as the island’s fantastic landscape, that brings under the same sky beaches reminiscent of the Caribbeans and barren, almost moon-like inland areas. Expert gastronomers guarantee that the food of Sardinia inherited elements from the cuisine of all of its conquerors, from the Phoenicians to the Carthaginians, from the Romans to the Genoese, the Pisans, and the Catalans, all the way to the Spanish and the Piedmontese.
