Traditional Puglia
“The everyday Apulian table, all in one box.”
A gift box with 7 typical Apulian products: the traditional pasta course, the taralli, the sweets and the rosé wine. What people in Puglia have always eaten, ready to be given as a gift.
7 products From pasta to dessert Gift idea
Traditional Puglia is the gift box that puts into one box what has always been on Apulian tables: orecchiette with turnip greens cream, the classic taralli that go with lunch from beginning to end, the traditional sweets and a rosé wine from Puglia. Seven products that need no explanation to anyone who knows Puglia, and that tell the story well to anyone discovering it now.
This is not a selection of rare delicacies — quite the opposite. These are the everyday typical Apulian products: the pasta, the preserved vegetables, the crisp bread rings, the jam, the shortcrust pastry sweets — the things that sit in an Apulian pantry all year round. To take home after a holiday in Puglia, or to give to someone who loves Puglia even from far away.

The pasta course
Orecchiette with turnip greens cream: the best-known Apulian pasta dish, and both ingredients are here. It is ready in the time it takes to cook the pasta.
|
🥨
Alongside the bread
The classic tarallini accompany lunch from the antipasto onwards, as they do in every Apulian home. And they are just as good on their own.

The sweet ending
The pitteddhe filled with jam and the sweet taralli close the meal. The jam stays on for breakfast in the days that follow.
|
🍷
The wine
The 101, an Apulian rosé, 75 cl, to be served chilled. If it runs out, another similar Apulian rosé takes its place.

The tradition
What makes it traditional
Orecchiette with turnip greens is the best-known Apulian first course, and both ingredients are in this box. The semolina orecchiette are made from durum wheat and have that rough surface which holds the sauce; the turnip greens cream is made from the shoots that Apulian farmers grow every winter, picked at the right ripeness and trimmed one by one. The same cream, on a slice of toasted bread, becomes an antipasto in thirty seconds.
Next to the pasta course come the classic tarallini: flour, extra virgin olive oil and white wine, and nothing else. They are shaped by hand one at a time, boiled the way they have always been boiled, left to dry and then baked — with no yeast: their crumbliness comes from the technique, not from leavening.
And then the sweets, which in Puglia are made with shortcrust pastry and with taralli dough. The pitteddhe are small tarts filled with jam, round and pinched by hand along the edge: that is where the name comes from, and because of the shape it gives them they are also known as star-shaped tarts. The sweet taralli are the end-of-meal version of the Apulian tarallo that everyone knows in its savoury form.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
What does the “Traditional Puglia” box contain?
Seven typical Apulian products: semolina orecchiette 500 g, turnip greens cream 180 g, classic Apulian tarallini 200 g, pitteddhe filled with jam 225 g, sweet taralli 200 g, a jam of about 200 g and a rosé wine from Puglia, 75 cl.
What can you make with it?
The traditional first course: orecchiette with turnip greens cream, ready in the time it takes to cook the pasta. The tarallini go alongside lunch, the pitteddhe and the sweet taralli close it, and the jam stays on for breakfast in the days that follow.
What are pitteddhe?
Small shortcrust tarts filled with jam, typical of Salento. They are round and pinched by hand along the edge — that is where the name comes from — and because of the shape it gives them they are also known as star-shaped tarts.
Is there a recipe card inside the box?
No: inside the box there are the products. Besides, orecchiette with turnip greens cream are made while the pasta cooks, and the tarallini need no preparation at all.
Which wine is in the box?
The 101, an Apulian rosé, 75 cl. If it runs out, we put in a similar rosé of the same value or higher.
Can I buy several boxes together?
Yes: for transport the boxes go into cardboard cartons, which you can choose. The small one holds two, the large one three. If instead you choose the gift box option, we decide how to wrap your purchase, according to the number of products.
And if a product has run out?
It is replaced by a similar product of the same value. And if there is something you would like to change, small changes to the contents can be arranged: just write to us before ordering.
Can it be used as a corporate gift?
Yes. For clients and staff we put together boxes and hampers to measure, and we have a PDF catalogue we send on request. For the same gift to several addresses we take care of it ourselves, with a single purchase and your list of addresses.
