Given the established tradition of making Culurgionis d'Ogliastra in municipalities neighbouring the province of Ogliastra , the production area has also been extended to Esterzili, Sadali and Escalaplano in the province of Cagliari. 5. Link with the geographical area Culurgionis d'Ogliastra, shaped like filled bundles with their characteristic closure that faithfully depicts an ear of wheat, is among the best known pasta in Sardinia and their production has a long-standing history. Culurgionis d'Ogliastra were originally a simple dish of peasants and shepherds; therefore the filling varied depending on the ingredients that were locally available. Potatoes, being easy to grow, were without doubt a food source that was readily available to everyone. A variety of ingredients were added to enrich the taste: salty cheese, animal and/or vegetable fats, and in some cases garlic and/or basil and/or mint and/or onions and various other cheeses including, in the summer months, the cheese casu axedu. The use of a unique mixture of these ingredients as the filling for Culurgionis d'Oligastra is a long-standing tradition dating back decades. The aspect that most links the product to the territory is the pinched closure that resembles an ear of wheat. This particular way of closing the pasta originates from this area of Sardinia and has traditionally always and only been done by hand. This particular closing method requires precision and considerable dexterity and skill; the result is reminiscent of a line of stitches or embroidery as the pasta, to seal the filling inside the product, is alternatively closed first on the left then on the right traditionally and exclusively by skilled female hands. There are many rural festivals, fairs and events that take place in the municipalities within the area of production and celebrate this product. Examples include several annual fairs organised during the most busy tourist months, namely the Sagra di Tortolì in July, the Sagra di Barisardo in August, the Sagra di Sadali in June and July and the Sagra di Loceri in September. There are also numerous references to Culurgionis d'Ogliastra in guides, recipe books and publications that bear witness to the name's reputation and the tradition of producing it in the geographical area.
