Tips and curiosities of the tomolo

The name Malloreddus could be a legacy of the Roman Empire, when Sardinia was the granary of Rome and mallus was Latin for gnocco.

More romantically, the name could be a legacy of the Sardinian pastoral world, where the pot-bellied shell of the gnocco, in the popular imagination, evoked the belly of the fat calf, called malloreddus in dialect.
