Qormi, known locally as Ħal Qormi, is one of Malta’s largest towns and has long been tied to the island’s baking traditions. The town is still dotted with old bakeries where the ovens turn out crusty Maltese bread and the much-loved Maltese spin on a pizza, which uses a thick, bready ftira base topped with local flavours such as Maltese sausage, thinly sliced potatoes, capers, and tangy goat’s cheese.

Beyond its culinary fame, Qormi’s winding streets are filled with history, chapels, and lively festa culture, making it a insightful stop for anyone wanting to experience authentic Maltese life.
