]]> During the 15th century, the city and Kingdom of Valencia became a key area for Mediterranean trade, concentrating in its territory a large part of the commercial resources coming from the rest of the Crown of Aragon. Among the trading areas were the traditional regions of economic penetration of the Aragonese Crown: Sardinia, Naples and Sicily. A study of the fluctuations in goods and foodstuffs between Valencia and Sardinia shows a growing relationship from the 14th century onwards. Of all the products exchanged, the purchase of cheeses from Sardinia stands out; although Valencia imported limited quantities of wheat and pasta, it was cheeses that were the protagonists of the trade negotiations. The table below shows some examples of cheese distribution in the Kingdom of Valencia, where merchants played a special role as intermediaries between the two territories. Among them, those from Valencia were particularly important, although those from Sardinia were also present, especially from the area of Cagliari.
