The culurgiones (also called culurzones, cullurzones, cruguxoni, culurgionis, culingionis, gurigliones, crullixonis) comes from Ogliastra, a region located in the island of Sardinia (Italy).
Their name derives from a Byzantine word that might have referred to a bird or to a round loaf.
In Ogliastra culurgiones making is something passed down in a family for generations.
