Bread.
Saaremaa and sour-sweet bread seem to be inseparable.
The islanders love black rye bread, no matter if it is bought from a
shop or baked at home in an oven.
The old traditions of bread baking are carried on by three larger
bakeries - AS Saare Leib, OU Karja Pagariari and AS Nasva
Pagar.
A great number of islanders consider the pan bread Borodino the
real Saaremaa's bread.
This bread was given the quality mark Appreciated Estonian
Taste.
Another islanders' favourite bread is Terviseleib (Healthy bread),
one of the breads baked at Karja Pagariari.
Beer.
The islanders have always been great brewers and beer drinkers.
The tradition of making home-brewed beer is still alive in Saaremaa.
