Knowledge in your hands

From semolina to Pane Pintau, the “Pane della festa” (celebration bread)
In Sardinia, among the many varieties of bread that symbolise the island’s food and Mediterranean culture, Pane Pintau has a special place. A bread so beautiful that it appears “painted”, due to its precious decorations that have become a traditional part of celebrating sacred and secular events. With us and the guidance of a local expert, you learn about processing local semolina wheat, prepare the dough and try your hand at decorating small “Festa” (celebration) breads.

From curd to Casizolu cheese, Slow Food Product
Montiferru is home to a large raw “pasta filata” cow’s milk cheese. This is Casizolu, known as the “women’s cheese” as it is traditionally women who monitor the maturation of the curd and determine when it is ready for them to process. Listed by Slow Food as one of the top 100 Italian products belonging to the “Arca del Gusto” (Ark of Taste) Project, and established in 2000 as the first historical centre of the Product, Casizolu is an authentic expression of a small local economy with a high identity value. With us and the guidance of a “historic” cheesemaker, you not only witness a demonstration of the way the cheese is packaged, but also try your hand at preparing one.
