Ziu Eligiu – Aged Sheep's Milk Cheese

Description

Ziu Eligiu is our signature cheese; named after its founder, it is produced according to the original recipe. Made from whole sheep’s milk using a semi-cooked curd process, it features a smooth, uniform, and flat rind, with a straight heel and rounded edges. Light brown in color, it tends to darken to a deeper brown as it ages. The flavor is intense and balanced—striking a harmony between sweet and savory notes—though it reaches the peak expression of its aromas and fragrances after 4 to 8 months of aging.

Tenute Faragò

Tenute Faragò was born from a deep friendship between Paolo, Alessandro, and Nicola, and a profound love for Sardinia. Across fourteen hectares in the Serdiana and Soleminis areas six of which are planted with vines the estate cultivates exclusively native grape varieties as single varietal wines, eschewing blends to ensure the purest expression of the terroir. The harvest is carried out strictly by hand using crates, while in the cellar, tradition meets modern technology through the use of steel, wood, and ceramic vessels for aging. Each bottle captures the sun, the wind, and the passion of a shared journey, offering an authentic taste of the Sardinian land.

Myrtle: the wild scent of Sardinia

Myrtle is much more than just a plant: it is the true scent of Sardinia. With its evergreen leaves and dark, glossy berries, it embodies the most authentic and wild spirit of the Mediterranean scrub.

For centuries, island tradition has known how to make the most of this gift of nature. The berries—harvested by hand at the peak of their aromatic potency—are primarily used to create the famous liqueur, produced through a slow infusion process that preserves its intense, unmistakable aroma. Yet myrtle also plays a role in traditional cuisine, used to flavor fine cuts of meat as well as signature dishes featuring the best of the land and sea.

Sardinia's Red Gold

Our saffron comes from the sun-drenched fields of Sardinia, where cultivation follows traditional rhythms. The flowers are harvested strictly by hand at dawn, between October and November, to preserve their aroma and properties intact.

To obtain just one gram of this precious spice, approximately 150 to 200 flowers are required, cleaned with artisanal care.

In the kitchen, it is the ideal ingredient for enhancing first courses such as risottos and fresh pasta, as well as soups, meats, and traditional desserts.
