Cuisine of Malta
Maltese cuisine is a vibrant tapestry of Mediterranean flavors, shaped by centuries of cultural exchange and the island's bountiful seas and sun-drenched fields. It blends rustic Italian and Sicilian traditions with North African spices, British comfort foods, and a deep love for fresh, local produce—resulting in hearty, flavorful dishes that are uniquely Maltese.
