Guttiau Rosmarino - Su Guttiau

Guttiau Rosmarino by Su Guttiau offers an authentic taste experience, combining the simplicity of ingredients from the Sardinian land with the convenience of a modern snack. Its creation is rooted in an ancient tradition of island breadmaking, with Pane Carasau as its most famous symbol. This thin sheet of bread, also known as “music paper” because of its lightness, was the bread of shepherds, designed to last for long periods during transhumance. Today, Su Guttiau, operating in the heart of Sardinia, has revived the foundations of this tradition — often carefully passed down by grandmothers — giving it new life with a distinctive touch.

The real magic of Guttiau takes place during the “guttia” process, meaning the seasoning: the bread sheets, made with re-milled durum wheat semolina, are brought to perfect crispness through light browning, often using sunflower oil or, depending on the version, olive oil. They are then carefully sprinkled with sea salt and, above all, infused with the intense, lively aroma of rosemary. It is precisely the addition of this aromatic herb, a cornerstone of the Mediterranean maquis, that defines the product’s distinctive flavour, bringing to mind seaside walks and the sun-drenched landscapes of the island.

Su Guttiau focuses on using genuine, carefully selected ingredients, ensuring a high standard of quality. Modern production technology works alongside respect for the traditional recipe, ensuring that every piece retains its crispness and authentic character. This focus has enabled the company to bring its snack beyond national borders, reaching international markets thanks to its flavour and versatility.

Guttiau Rosmarino is the ideal snack for enhancing any convivial moment. Its light texture and lingering rosemary aroma make it perfect on its own, but it reaches its full potential at aperitif time: it pairs wonderfully with spreads, hummus, vegetable pâtés or, as a tribute to its land of origin, a selection of high-quality Pecorino cheeses and Sardinian cured meats. It also pairs beautifully with a glass of chilled Sardinian white wine. Choosing Su Guttiau means bringing to the table not only a snack, but also a piece of Sardinia’s gastronomic history, capable of offering a simple and genuine pleasure.
