Ingredients[edit]

The cuisine of Sardinia is based on the ingredients that are readily available on the island. These include sheep's milk, cheese, pork, seafood, olive oil, artichokes, and tomatoes. The island's location in the Mediterranean Sea also means that a variety of seafood is used in Sardinian cooking.

One of the most famous dishes from Sardinia is porceddu, which is a suckling pig that is roasted on a spit. Other popular dishes include malloreddus, a type of pasta that is often served with a sauce made from sausage and tomatoes, and bottarga, which is a delicacy made from the roe of the grey mullet.

Beverages[edit]

Sardinia is also known for its beverages. The island is home to a number of wineries that produce wines such as Cannonau, Vermentino, and Malvasia. In addition to wine, Sardinia is also known for its mirto, a liqueur made from the berries of the myrtle plant.
