The Sagra dei Culurgioni in Tortolì is an unmissable opportunity to discover one of the most authentic dishes of Sardinian culinary tradition. Held every year during the week of Sant'Anna, this festival celebrates culurgiones IGP—delicate ravioli filled with potatoes, pecorino cheese, mint, and garlic, dressed with tomato sauce and generous grated cheese. A dish that embodies the history and gastronomic identity of Ogliastra, where the recipe has been passed down through generations with the care of a sacred ritual.

Born as a humble dish of the Ogliastran agropastoral tradition, culurgiones represent the culinary evolution of a community rooted in the land and its animals. From a simple Sunday meal for peasant communities, they have gained recognition over time as a territorial excellence, becoming a symbol of Sardinia worldwide. During the festival, the village streets come alive with food and wine stands where you can taste this specialty in its most authentic form.

But the celebration is more than just gastronomy: concerts and musical performances tied to Sardinian tradition will enliven the evenings, transforming the village into an open-air stage where we rediscover the cultural roots of the island. A perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in authentic Sardinia, surrounded by ancient flavors and the sounds of memory.
