Gallura-style Soup: One of Gallura’s Food Specialities for Your Holidays

enne media — Sat, 23 Sep 2023 07:52:48 +0000

Among all the recipes of Sardinian cuisine, Gallura-style soup is undoubtedly an exclusive speciality of Gallura, in northern Sardinia. Known as ‘suppa’ or ‘suppa cuata’ in the local dialect, it is prepared with multiple layers of bread dunked in sheep or beef broth and covered with sheep’s or cow’s cheese, parsley, and several spices.

Gallura-style soup is thought to have its origins in the Middle Ages because it is featured in recipe books of the time and resembles Catalan or Aragonese soup. Over the years, Gallura-style soup has always been perceived as a traditional, humble dish. It is prepared with leftover stale bread, leftover meat broth, and some cheese and spices to add some flavour.

Wine: Vermentino di Gallura DOCG

. Vermentino is a grapevine variety commonly grown in several Italian regions. However, Sardinia provides the most favourable conditions, especially in Gallura: here, this wine releases its best aromas and recalls the colours of the landscape where it is produced.

Thanks to the Mediterranean climate and the magic of this area, Vermentino is sheer poetry here: Gallura’s granitic landscapes are shaped by wind and sea, which – together with the sun – are ever-present in this region. Due to this natural weathering, Gallura’s soil is sandy, sometimes clayey, and rich in potassium, sodium, and calcium. Together with skeletal remains, these substances result in exceptionally fragrant and sapid mineral wines.

Sunshine allows for a fast and ideal development of grapes. When they reach maturity between August and September, they acquire a golden colour. On the other hand, the wind offsets the typical moisture of this variety. Together with temperature excursions between day and night and the local microclimate, it gives grapes their typical fragrance.

Cork – The Emblem of Gallura

Cork is perhaps the most important of the core pillars of Gallura’s craftsmanship and is certainly the most representative material of the area and the whole of Sardinia.

For centuries, this noble raw material has been precious for the island’s daily routine, as it can be used to manufacture several items that are crucial to survival. From time immemorial, Calangianus, in the province of Olbia-Tempio, has been considered the Italian capital of cork: the inhabitants of this ancient small town, who were mainly shepherds at first, were introduced to the art of cork extraction, manufacturing, and carving by the French.

In 1851, the first factory entirely reserved for cork production was opened. Since then, the business has constantly developed, and today about 70% of the total cork production of Sardinia occurs in Calangianus.
