This pack is the result of a careful selection and research process. Among the Sardinian specialties included in this pack, the following companies from the Sardinian territory were selected.

• Malloreddus of Cappelli wheat pasta made by Araj pasta factory, a great classic of typical Sardinian cuisine. They are prepared with excellent grain, the “Senatore Capelli” wheat, a type now almost abandoned by big industry, but with undisputed value and taste. For this reason, Araj has decided to produce some formats in purity only from this ancient kind of wheat with an ash-blond color, an intense aroma and a chewiness that enhances its flavor and fragrance. This variety of wheat is able to obtain a unique and unmistakable flavor.
  In fact, while this ancient grain contains about 10% of gluten, modern grains contain about 18% of it. The reason why the flours used for bread making are enriched with gluten is to allow the bread to swell during leavening.
  Senatore Cappelli flour has a high content of flavonoids and antioxidants, which have anti-inflammatory properties capable of promoting the reduction of intestinal inflammation and gluten intolerances.
  In addition to being particularly digestible, it has a slightly lower amount of calories than other grains and has beneficial effects on cholesterol.
• Campidanese sauce with sausage made by Su Bottu, an exquisite ready-made sauce, typical of the Campidano area. It is a ragù prepared with fresh pork sausage and tomatoes grown in Sardinia.
  It is the most classic condiment to accompany the famous malloreddus, perfect with a generous grating of pecorino cheese.
• EVO extra virgin semidana olive oil made by Corrias oil mill, is a Monocultivar oil of the highest quality and is unique as an expression of typical olive cultivars of the Sinis region. It is obtained directly from olives and only by mechanical means. The color is straw yellow with light golden reflections, it has an intense and persistent aroma of fruit and flowers. Belonging to the fruity category with prevailing hints of fresh grass, artichoke, thistle, spicy taste, hints of fresh floral almond and ripe fruit. The taste is fine and characteristic, dry and soft, alcoholic, fresh and slightly sour, with a good structure.
• Semi-seasoned Sardinian pecorino cheese (Canaiga) is made by L’Oasi WWF di Scivu. It is a semi-aged pecorino cheese with an intense flavor, a natural heir of Sardinian cheese, made with whole milk that is collected and transformed every day, using traditional methods, in order to preserve the exceptional organoleptic qualities unaltered. Being an artisanal product, the same type of cheese is not always the same in weight and regularity of shape. Hence the difficulty of making completely homogeneous pieces.
