Food is at the heart of Sardinian culture and life and reflects its rich history, traditions and landscape.

Fine food brings together the family on a daily basis, friends and neighbours share the rewards of their harvests and communities feast in celebration. It is this spirit and love of good food and wine that Palmavera celebrates.

We will use this blog to record and share our personal experiences of Sardinia, some stories of the island, its people and its produce, as well as provide information about our own products, events and some recipes too and we look forward to making links with those of you who share an interest in Sardinia, or simply good food.

Easter Holiday Closing 29 March - 15 April 2012

spring flowers

Next week I am off to Sardinia to seek out some new artisan food finds and I can’t wait!  Spring is always my favourite time of year there as the island is luminously bright with spring flowers.

Easter, known in Sardinia as Sa Pasca Manna (the big Easter festival) is the most important religious holiday of the year and is much bigger than Christmas.  The festivals and parades are breathtakingly beautiful and the feasts are quite something.

So, while I am slavishly  seeking new foods and feasting, I am doing as the Sardinians and shutting up shop for Easter. This means that there will be no deliveries between 29th March and  15th April 2012.   Any orders placed during this time will be posted on return.

I look forward to sharing my finds with you.

Buona Pasqua
