Description
Savina Bigilla is a traditional Maltese dip deeply rooted in the rural kitchens of Gozo and the wider Maltese islands. Made from slow-cooked broad beans blended with garlic, parsley, and island seasoning, this savoury spread reflects the simple, honest flavours that have sustained island communities for generations.
Broad beans have long been a staple crop across Gozo’s terraced fields, where limestone soil, dry stone walls, and Mediterranean sun shape the rhythm of agriculture. In villages across Malta, Bigilla was traditionally prepared by hand and served with fresh crusty bread, olive oil, and local cheeselets — a dish born from necessity that became a culinary identity.
Savina’s 125g format preserves that heritage in a refined, export-ready presentation. The texture is rich and slightly rustic, the garlic providing warmth while parsley lifts the finish with freshness. It is ideal for antipasti boards, mezze platters, sandwiches, and Mediterranean sharing plates.
Compact and gift-ready, this jar carries forward Gozo’s agricultural tradition and Malta’s enduring love for simple, deeply flavoured food — prepared for modern specialty retail and structured international distribution.
