Holiday Farms in Sardinia
The Sardinian cuisine is a simple one as it comes from a poverty period where women learned how to cook with what they had in the courtyard.
For example, the carasau bread, a crispy bread baked twice, was prepared this way to resist days as the shepherds use to stay days away from home and ate bread and cheese while away.
The different types of handmade pasta come from the period when wheat was ground at home, as everything was done literally at home. As well as being an island, transportation inside Sardinia wasn’t easy then, and so the families used to live with what they themselves cultivated in their courtyard, so as the animals they bred there too.
Still today many families in Sardinia butcher the pork by themselves, using all parts of the animal, nothing is thrown away. Everything is prepared to last for the whole winter, as used in old and difficult times.
