Island of Elba Recipes from Elba
In local cuisine all typical dishes come from culinary traditions born and moved among miners, farmers and sailors. Dishes made with poor products and today reproduced by elban chefs in a modern way.
Among the most delicious dishes, we recall Gurguglione and Bordatino, whereas among desserts, Rio style Schiaccia Briaca. In some restaurants, managed by the descendants of those old miners and sailors, you can also enjoy other dishes of the local tradition: Sburrita di baccalà, "zeri marinati" and the classic boiled octopus.

Gurguglione is a peasant food of the elban traditional rural culture from the village of Rio.
The Schiacca Briaca
A typical cake that can not be missed at the end of each lunch is the “schiaccia briaca”. It is a very special nearly dry pasta cake.
Castagnaccio
Even though it’s a cake baked mostly during fall, you can eat it all year round at Elba.
