Sardinian Fregola: savoring tradition

Fregola is a small ball-shaped pasta that recalls couscous, but with a Sardinian touch all its own.

Let's discover together how this pasta makes its way into the hearts and dishes of anyone who loves the sea and its flavor.

Why does it 'creep'?

The name 'fregola' is derived from the Latin 'fricare', which means to rub or scrub.

This word was adopted in the Sardinian language, with the meaning of “rubbing between hands,” and describes the traditional gesture of pasta makers who rubbed small pieces of pasta between their hands to give them their characteristic grainy shape.

This gesture is the secret to obtaining the unique texture of Sardinian fregola, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
