The Sagra del Prosciutto di Talana celebrates one of the most iconic charcuterie specialties of Ogliastra and all of Sardinia, officially honored with the 'Sagra di Qualit脿' recognition by UNPLI. The undeniable star of the festival is the renowned local prosciutto, crafted from free-range and semi-wild pigs raised locally and seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and wild herbs, all enhanced by an extended curing process shaped by the village's mountain climate. Alongside this prized cured ham, the food and wine festival offers the chance to sample other regional delicacies, perfectly paired with Cannonau wine. The event brings the village streets to life with vibrant culture and folklore, featuring folk troupes in traditional dress, Sardinian singing and dancing performances, live music, and exhibitions showcasing ancient crafts and heritage.
