Even the production of preserves is highly regulated and monitored to be as authentic as possible. A value is placed by the people of Sardinia on quality, authenticity, custom and taste.<\/p>\n
Bread<\/strong> is a staple of every Sardinian table and a variety of homemade breads exist in different regions, rich in flavour and texture. Famous examples such as Moddizzosu, Civraxiu, Coccoi.<\/p>\n Or Carasau come from the countless old<\/p>\n <\/p>\n villages which are the repositories of a country’s life that still keeps its traditions alive.<\/p>\n The dough is artistically shaped for special occasion and ceremonies. Of course, despite the intricate design, it is best served with extra virgin olive oil.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column] <\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_images_carousel images=”6477,5484,6151,9252,9249″ img_size=”400X400″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]No part of Sardinia culture<\/strong> is ever complete without food.
