Capers are typical of the Salento landscape and of the country
tradition. During all the ‘900 whole families got up very early
in the morning and went to the countryside to pick the capers
up, one by one, from the low and bushy plants. In the ’70
the town of Racale was a leader in the production of capers.
If the desire for Apulian taralli is felt today but you also want to try a new and original combination and flavor, we recommend you try the potato and rosemary taralli from La Terra di Puglia. A classic but by no means obvious combination, which brings to the table all the desire for fragrance but also for flavors that evoke and remember the Sundays spent with the family at the grandparents' house. They are simple but Italian flavours, which speak the language of the family and of being together in harmony. The flavors that La Terra di Puglia loves.
Macaroni, or "Minchiareddhi" are the first of excellence in the Salento diet, seasoned with a good tomato sauce, and for those who want to taste in an even more typical way with a pinch of "ricotta schianta".
A sharp and savory cheese, soft and creamy, perfect if enjoyed spread on a slice of bread or into your tomato pasta sauce.
