Typical products from Puglia

The cooking of Puglia is simple: few ingredients, but good ones. Here you will find the typical products of Puglia, type by type, and the ones you can have delivered from our shop. We choose them from small producers, whom we visit in person.

Extra virgin olive oil

It is the heart of the cooking of Puglia and dresses almost everything. It comes from local olive varieties such as Ogliarola, Cellina and Coratina. In our shop you will find fruity oils, more intense, and mild ones, good for every use, organic ones too. All in the olive oil from Puglia category.

Taralli, frise and bread

• Taralli are the snack of Puglia above all others: savoury, in many flavours, or sweet.
• Frise and friselline are twice-baked bread dressed with fresh tomatoes, oil, oregano and a pinch of salt: you will find them under frise and friselle.
• From Salento comes the puccia, the typical bread roll.

Pasta

Orecchiette are the most famous pasta of Puglia. You will find them made with semolina, with Senatore Cappelli wheat or with grano arso, flour from partly burnt wheat. All our pasta.

Preserves and vegetables in oil

The sun of Puglia ends up in jars: sun-dried tomatoes in oil, passata and sauces, vegetables in oil such as lampascioni, cime di rapa and artichokes, pâtés and condiments. Everything under preserves from Puglia.

Olives and pulses

• Olives: Bella di Cerignola, Termite di Bitetto, Leccine and Celline. All in the olives category.
• Pulses: such as lentils from Puglia, to cook stewed, in soup or as a side dish. See pulses and vegetables.

Wine

Puglia is a land of reds such as Primitivo and Negroamaro, but also of rosés and whites. You will find them all among the wines from Puglia.

Sweets

Dried figs with almonds, almonds from Puglia, almond pastries, jams and vincotto, made from grapes or figs, to pour over desserts, ice cream and fruit. All our sweets.

Terracotta and lucky charms

Puglia is not only food: there is hand-made terracotta, for cooking and laying the table, the pumi, the lucky charm of Puglia in Grottaglie ceramic, and the luminarie.

Why buy them from us

We are a small online shop in Cutrofiano, in Salento. We work with small producers, not with large-scale retail: we visit every producer who joins the catalogue in person, see where they work and taste their products. Then we ship them in protective packaging, in Italy and abroad. About us.
