Cork oaks, the emblem of Gallura, produce a vital resource with multiple uses. Already known during the Nuragic era for its insulating properties, cork is mainly employed to manufacture stoppers, as well as utensils, decorative items, traditional containers, and trays to serve local products. Calangianus is a centre of excellence for cork manufacturing and carving and the industrial production of stoppers. This town hosts the Cork Museum, dedicated to the extraction and processing phases and typical utensils of everyday use. The whole manufacturing process is environmentally friendly, and cork currently features in local craft markets which, in addition to characteristic items, also offer original alternatives: traditional jewels and handcrafted ornaments, for instance, make for unconventional souvenirs. Since cork is a sustainable, highly elastic, fireresistant, and impervious material, some Sardinian designers cleverly made a noble fabric out of it: they employ it for their original and exquisite creations, in the spirit of true high fashion. Granite manufacturing and carving are based on another crucial resource of Gallura and are among the oldest crafts in the region. The abundance of caves goes hand in hand with a wide range of granite types, varying depending on the area: from pink granite to pearl-grey granite, typical of the caves of Buddusò. Buddusò is a centre of excellence for granite working, together with Tempio Pausania, the ‘town of granite’ rich in architectural masterpieces made of this material.
