GUTTIAU BREAD

Shepherds' bread withstands the test of time and fluctuating tastes: it is the symbol of Sardinia's culinary tradition. The recipe from the artisanal workshops of Oliena holds all the secrets of Barbagia, and even today, Carasau bread is prepared just as grandmothers used to make it.

The most famous and flavourful variant of Carasau is Guttiau bread, which is made by adding olive oil and a pinch of salt to each individual sheet, making it irresistible. Excellent as an appetiser after a few minutes in the oven.

Ingredients: durum wheat semolina, water, olive oil (8%), brewer's yeast, and salt (2.7%).

A Guttiau

In the early 1990s, in Ardauli (a small town in the province of Oristano, Sardinia), a new snack called Su Guttiau began to be produced using traditional methods. It was the first successful experiment transforming an ancient recipe into a modern product, very popular among young people. The recipe is simple: grandmother's recipe. Su Guttiau is the traditional shepherds' carasau, adapted to the needs and tastes of our times, genuine, flavourful, and irresistible, at any time of day. Natural and high-quality ingredients, with no added colourings or preservatives.

In 2018, Guttiau acquired a new, larger factory and increased investments in research and development, quality, and logistics. New recipes were created, expanding the offering, including Sardinian pasta, following artisanal production methods.
