Food in Gozo is a celebration of the island’s agricultural roots. Two items you absolutely must try are the authentic Gozitan Ftira and the Ġbejna.
Unlike the bready ftira of Malta, the Gozitan version is more like a sourdough pizza, traditionally topped with thinly sliced potatoes, capers, olives, anchovies, and fresh tomatoes. Pair it with Ġbejniet—small round cheeses made from sheep’s or goat’s milk—often served fresh, dried, or rolled in crushed black pepper.
