Corsican

The culinary tradition of Corsica (Corse) — an island of Mediterranean France with deep cultural autonomy. Defined by seven EU-protected designations (Brocciu AOP, three charcuterie AOPs, Miel de Corse AOP, Farine de Châtaigne Corse IGP, Huile d'Olive AOP), a distinct chestnut-flour carbohydrate canon, the Porcu Nustrale free-range pig tradition, and a Corsican-language culinary vocabulary (figatellu, pulenda, storzapreti, nepita) independent of both French and Italian. Genoese administration 1347–1768 created Italian-inflected technique layers; French post-1768 layer is administrative rather than culinary.
