La Capra sarda è una popolazione molto rustica capace di valorizzare zone orograficamente molto impervie e non utilizzabili da altre specie di interesse zootecnico. L’alimentazione avviene al pascolo, prevalentemente di tipo cespugliato e la varietà delle essenze pascolate conferisce al latte e alla carne particolari aromi. Un prodotto tipico locale è il cagliolo di capretto costituito dall’abomaso degli animali essiccato (se ne raccomanda l’uso moderato).
La Capra sarda è stata riconosciuta dal Ministero per le Politiche agricole, alimentari e forestali razza ufficiale caprina italiana.
