Handmade Taralli Pizzaiola Flavour

Tomato, oregano, salt and pepper: few ingredients that everyone recognises and that immediately put you in a good mood. It is the same logic as a margherita pizza — simplicity that becomes irresistible. La Terra di Puglia brought this combination to its pizzaiola taralli.

The tomato is Puglian, local. The oregano is the wild variety that grows spontaneously in Puglia, along the fields and near the sea. We harvest and dry it ourselves, by hand, the way it was always done. The result is a tarallo that smells of the Mediterranean and reminds you, on the first bite, of everything you love about Italian cuisine.

Puglian tomato needs no introduction: Puglia is Italy’s top tomato-producing region, and the quality of this product is recognised throughout Italy. Sweet, intense, full of flavour — incorporated into the dough it becomes an ingredient that is clearly present without becoming overpowering.

Wild oregano grows spontaneously throughout Puglia, by the sea and in the inland countryside. It has a more intense and complex fragrance than cultivated oregano. We strip it by hand, as grandparents used to do, and add just the right amount to give the taralli their unmistakable Mediterranean aroma.
