What isBistoccu
of Montresta
Tradition, Passion
and Quality.
The "Bistoccu" is a specialty born in a small village of Sardinia: Montresta; a village of just 559 inhabitants located 455 meters above sea level in the ancient Planargia region.
The name "bistoccu" comes from the words in Latin ancient bise-cottum, which means
"cooked 2 times", because it required two separate firings.
This method makes it a suitable bread to long conservation and therefore consumed by the shepherds during the weeks of transhumance; but it was also the bread of servitude and of the poor.
In the past, the bread was produced infrequently, and therefore had to be cellared for long periods.
It can simply be used as a traditional bread, accompanying the dishes, or used as a special ingredient for creating new tasty dishes.
