Puglia
The whitewashed buildings that make up the towns and villages of Puglia speak of the rustic influence of the southern Mediterranean on this beautiful region.
Let us transport you to Puglia
The quaint, cobblestone streets of Bari, overlooking the ocean to the east, are typically abuzz with the friendly chatter of the city’s locals. Cucina povera, literally “poor kitchen”, is a culinary practice widely observed here, involving produce that can be grown or foraged at a low cost. This ethos informs much of the cuisine of Puglia where Orecchiette is a staple pasta variety and many dishes are made with fish caught locally.
