A Taste of Sardinian Sunshine—A Kiss of Saffron In Every Bite
Our Saffron Malloreddus combines the best in traditional pasta-making techniques with high-quality ingredients. This specialty pasta is enhanced with organic saffron, which adds bold flavor and a splash of yellow-orange color to any dish.
Malloreddus, also known as Sardinian gnocchi, has been a staple in Sardinian cuisine for centuries. Its name is derived from the Sardinian word “malloru,” meaning “calf,” as its small, ridged shape was thought to resemble a young cow’s belly. Adding saffron to the dough is a regional practice that gives the pasta a distinctive golden color and a subtle, aromatic flavor. The pasta’s grooves and ridges make it excellent for holding thick sauces, particularly Sardinia’s signature sugo alla campidanese – a rich tomato sauce with sausage and saffron.
