Arborea recipes: Sardinian Appetizers

Sardinian appetizers are an invitation to conviviality: bold flavors, simple ingredients, and traditions passed down through generations. In this section, you’ll find a selection of authentic Sardinian appetizer recipes, perfect for starting a lunch or dinner with genuine taste. From traditional Sardinian meat or seafood starters to rustic little bites to share, each dish celebrates the soul of our island.

You can begin with a great classic like Olive in Salamoia alla Sarda, or choose a more intense recipe like Olive a Scabecciu, with their bold and unmistakable taste. For those who love the flavors of the sea, there are Boiled Murici, simple yet rich in tradition, or the Sardinian Mussel Soup, often served at festive tables.

The Pecorino Fondue is also perfect as an appetizer: warm, rich, and best enjoyed with carasau or guttiau bread. Each recipe is created to bring a piece of Sardinia to the table, with that touch of warmth that makes every meal more genuine.

Because for us at Arborea, a good beginning is not just a matter of taste — it’s a way to come together. And Sardinian appetizers are exactly that: a moment to share, with your hands, with bread, with your heart.
