In the land of wheat between taste and tradition
Guided itinerary and lunch in the Sardinian hinterland, along the bread route
A land rich in history and traditions just over 40 kilometers from Cagliari: Trexenta was in ancient times one of the granaries of the Roman Empire and is still one of the most important centers of cereal production on the island today. Discover the area starting from Cagliari aboard a private car. Together with an expert guide, immerse yourself in the countryside and its nuances, among rows and cultivated fields. Reach Ortacesus and visit the Wheat Museum, with tools, photographs and artefacts that testify to traditions and crafts handed down from generation to generation. Continue towards Nurri to admire an ancient mill still in operation, where you can learn to recognize the types of flour grinding and understand which ones to use based on the variety of bread. After a typical lunch on a farm, arrive in Orroli to take part in an educational workshop held by the women of the town. Learn the secrets of yeast starter here and literally put your hands in the dough to prepare bread. An experience to let yourself be carried away by the taste of a unique history, part of the Sardinian cultural identity.
