Farm-house Saltara (Santa Teresa Gallura)

Description Saltara

In Santa Teresa Gallura, nestled in a small valley among granite rocks, our farm stretches across a green space painstakingly carved from the rugged terrain.

As early as the late 1800s, this area was known as "la Cussorgia," a term referring to a cluster of small neighboring farmsteads. It was a fertile and vibrant place, so much so that Petru Alluttu, one of the most important poets of Gallura, was bohere.

Agriculture and livestock farming have always been tied to free-range grazing, with a strong presence of goats and cattle. Even today, in Saltara, we mainly raise rustic Sardinian cattle, perfectly adapted to a harsh and low-yield environment. During periods of severe drought, these animals feed on the Mediterranean scrub, enriching the meat’s flavor with the region’s native essences. The pastures, exposed to the salty mistral winds, give the meat a unique taste, deeply rooted in the Gallurese tradition.

Our farm cultivates high-quality vegetables, following ancient methods without the use of modetechniques. The scarcity of water requires a sustainable and careful approach, respecting the natural rhythms of the land.
