SARDINIA, ITALY - Sardinia, an island with a lot of history in the Mediterranean Sea, is unlike anywhere in Italy. It’s my first time to visit this incredible island, and we’re going to explore some of the local Sardinian food, from the sea to the land, including some of the most extreme Sardinian cheese!
Friends in the video:
Edoardo Celadon (@MostOfItaly www.mostofitaly.com/) - Huge thank you to Edoardo who can arrange you the best and most authentic food experiences throughout Italy!

Seafood - To begin this Sardinian food tour, we started off in Cagliari, Sardinia. It was originally going to be a fishing trip, but turned out, they didn’t really want to go fishing, and instead they had some fresh fish and and seafood on board. At first we were all a little disappointed, but the crew Chef cooked such good dishes, that it all made up for it. The fresh seafood was outstanding and the simple Sardinian preparation was delicious. One of the highlight dishes was Fregula - Semolina ball pasta with seafood and tomato sauce.
Agriturismo Fattoria Cuscusa, Gonnostramatza, Sardinia - Next up we headed into the Sardinian countryside to try a rare and dying art of roasting a suckling pig underground. You never know how it’s going to turn out as you can’t monitor it. What was most interesting to me was all the different Sardinian herbs and bushes that went into the cooking and preparation. That’s what truly made it.
But the real highlight of the day was trying Casu martzu - Sardinian sheep cheese with live insect maggots!
It was an incredible introduction to the real Sardinian food, people, and culture!

Hi Mark I'm italian and i can only say thank you for showing our cuisine to the world and how deep and diverse it is in every region of our country, unfortunatly our food is often "faked" and low quality products are sold as made in italy ruining the perception of our food in the rest of the world. Hopefully more people will come here and try our cuisine as you did in this journey, the love that you have for the food is noticeable and i hope that you liked everything!

[@Mhdz-ne4pi]

Hopefully Italians take less pride and eat other food too.

[@enten096]

And the good thing is that italian food is healthy

[@shirleenswartz496]

Mostly all the Italian food is very simple, alot of Seafood and not much meat. It's so different than what people think.

[@user-dd9jg6pz8u]

Italian food is the best

[@scottlange2766]

One of my favorite episodes to date. So envious. Real people, real culture, and real food. You could see the pride in the chef. Perfect thank you!

[@yasminambrogio6047]

As a Sardinian this makes me so proud to see

[@goldenage]

Thank you for your open-mindedness,Mark. Some of the food is simple, but they are traditions kept alive by these good people for centuries if not longer. Like everything in life, it can be good to keep things simple.

[@MarkWiens]

Definitely right about that, especially when ingredients are fresh, and local.

[@philippkucia8442]

@@MarkWiens Mark, could you make a video about Ukrainian food, especially Crimean please? It will be very difficult but worth it! I also love Sardinian food, btw and the whole island is a paradise and a dream of travel destination to me and to my family, too! Thank you Mark for making a video about this island!

[@danielleena]

I love Eduardo..as he always..I mean always makes sure that he feeds Mark when he is busy explaining to us...Love Mark ..Love Eduardo❤❤

[@luketargett2233]

"I dare you to find a dish in Sardinia with more than four ingredients" FANTASTIC!!!!

[@nasreenelias6791]

You have the best job in the world.

[@jnj62808]

Would never eat the cheese with live maggots, but everything else looks good!

[@user-qk8zg9ju3c]

From a little Sardinian girl I would never tough you would come to my island. Hope you liked the food you had even if it was just a fracture of what my land offers

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you so much, still have so much to explore in Sardinia!

[@jibsmokestack1]

Knew a couple Sardinians back in the day. They always told me I should visit because of the food and culture. This video made me want to visit the island asap. Food looked amazing. I love how serious Italians take their food. It’s heartwarming!

[@lorenzofarhang950]

sardinia has also the best sea in the world 😍

[@riccardosebis5333]

Sardinian, not Italian

[@Daryakie]

You really have to go. I went to sardinia in 2022 and it was the most memorable memory of my life! The beaches are not like other, it’s paradise! You have to see it.

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much, great to hear that, and hope you can visit Sardinia soon!

I love learning about Sardinia (especially about the food) and I'm so proud to be able to say my ancestors are from this magical part of Europe! Such a great video, I could almost smell the food!!!

[@JJacopo]

Sardinia has the best beaches in Europe, go during the summer

[@user-ji9dv3jr1c]

Everything looked delicious except for the maggot cheese. Pretty sure I wouldn’t want to try it. Kudos to you, Mark, for always trying every dish and being so positive and appreciative of everything you eat.

[@fmls8266]

I suggest you trying tho, the taste is like nothing else, most people who dare gets addicted to the flavor

[@gabbysworldworldwide]

Felt this comment lol

[@goldenrules5697]

Mark weins "dark side" can eat everything..

[@angelalampis6046]

From a little Sardinian girl I would never tough you would come to my island. Hope you liked the food you had even if it was just a fracture of what my land offers❤

When I was young, we had an Italian grocer in our neighborhood…really old school…he would bring us in the back to sample some food. He would go back home and bring back amazing goodies…like lemons as big as your head…cheese with maggots in it and divine salami! Miss you Mr. Merola!

[@depangus]

Cheese with maggots?

[@visualvendetta]

such a comforting video. the people seem sooo friendly. The food so unique and delicious. I think i might have to visit Italy one day.

[@AntonnyTan]

My acquaintances once visit Sardinia and told me their foods are delicious. Giorno, Buciarati, Mista and others, you guys sure enjoy trip to this seafood heaven in Italy.

[@chucktz469]

It's a rainy cold day here in San Diego, CA but watching this incredible episode transitions me into riding on fishing boat bayside scarfing down fresh caught seafood with a magnificent crew on deck. Then smelling the aroma of backyard garden herbs, wood, & berries roasting underground a succulent pig from a nearby farm. OMGOODNESS!! What a phenomenal virtual barbeque from the best the earth has to offer. Salud to Mark & friends for bringing us such a magical experience from Italy once again!! Cheers to a great episode of a tour de Italia!!🧀🥐🦐🦞🍇🍷

[@jasonRhawt]

It's crazy how all cultures experienced some kind of underground cooking.

[@sbworldtravelvlog]

I visited your eatery in Bangkok and it was great, can you bring one to Sydney Please!

[@BrunieStudios]

Food is evolutionary and the Italians know it….eating well is an art form…when we approach food and cooking with thoughtfulness and reverence we evolve into better human beings…just read all the beautiful comments, everyone is touched in some way ….❤❤❤

[@teestephon1609]

My daughter & I just love when you say “peppas” or “pepper sauce!” 😂 any time I say pepper in any way I have to say it like you 😂

[@MarkWiens]

Appreciate your support. Thank you, I would love to visit Malta, hopefully sometime soon in the future.

[@aprilcoursey4533]

I found out via DNA testing that im part Sardinian. I never wanted to try that cheese before, but after watching this I would. Cheers, Mark.

[@honeybunchy1808]

I love how people, regardless of their nationality are willing to show Mark (and the rest of the world) their traditions.

[@swissfoodie3542]

Hi Mark, I look forward to enjoy this video, as I like Sardinia a lot. If you are still there, you must try Culurgiones, its a traditional fresh pasta dish from Sardinia, a kind of ravioli with a filling of mashed potatoes, pecorino cheese and mint. Sounds a bit strange, but its really delicious. Best enjoyed in a simple restaurant with a simple tomato sauce.

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you for the recommendation. We had such a short trip to Sardinia, with I had had more time to explore more!

[@user-tr4pm4cq8s]

Glad to see your still going to new places Mark.U are a cut above. You should make a video with your parents.We havnt seen them in so long. Peace

[@juliadh2088]

The mountain areas of Sardinia is one of the 5 Blue Zones in the world (places where people grow very old) It would have been interesting to see what they eat up there...Such a shame you didn't have longer time in Sardinia...I am going there in June and looking forward to all the good food there...Can recommend the Greek Island of Ikaria (another Blue Zone) If you want to taste truly healthy, delicious, healing food. I Went there for a month last year, and the food was amazing.

[@luciavanolli]

What an experience! I've never tried, maybe I should but of course it's not easy... Anyway, Thanks Mark Wiens for this Great Video!❤
