Corsican gastronomy: the flavours of a living land

When Corsica is told through flavors

Imagine a path through the maquis, the scent of sun-warmed rosemary, a piece of cheese on a slice of rustic bread, a glass of red wine in hand. In Corsica, gastronomy is more than just a pleasure: it's a living memory, a link between land, people and time.

On this page, discover the Corsican artisans we've met, photographed, tasted and listened to. Because here, every product has a face, every flavor has a story.

Corsican charcuterie: a taste of mountains and time

Figatellu, coppa, lonzu, prisuttu... These words sing of Corsican winters, of drying sheds clinging to the heights, of wood fires and patience. Corsican charcuterie, especially when made by hand, is the fruit of ancestral know-how handed down from generation to generation.

Using porcu nustrale, a hardy local breed raised in the wild, Corsican artisans create richly flavored cured meats, often nitrite-free, simply preserved with salt and pepper. Come and discover the authentic producers we've visited, and their products available online. Discover artisanal Corsican charcuterie as if you were there.

Corsican cheeses: between freedom and character

Corsican cheese is the story of a free-range herd on the slopes of Niolu or Sartenais, of raw milk processed by hand, of a maturing process that varies according to the climate and the shepherd's instinct. From fresh brocciu to casgiu merzu for the more adventurous, to mature tommes, each cheese tells the story of a unique terroir.

Our partner producers offer sheep's and goat's cheeses with a pronounced flavor, sometimes mild, but always sincere. Discover them without delay.

Biscuiterie corse: crunchy softness and sweet know-how

It's impossible to talk about Corsican delicacies without mentioning canistrelli, crunchy cookies flavored with aniseed, white wine, lemon or hazelnut. But there's also cujuelle de Calenzana, the soft hit of festive days, and apéristrelli salted with maquis grass, perfect for the aperitif.

Our partner biscuit-makers offer you these authentic, home-made delights, which you can order online to find a little Corsica in your cup of coffee.
