About Puglia
Puglia (Apulia) is often described as the land of wonders. It is a blend of art and culture, ancient customs and an impressive culinary tradition that conquers the hearts of those who set foot in the region. The landscape is defined by a smooth transition between the coast, dominated by limestone reliefs and paradise-like beaches, and the inland, characterised by beautiful olive groves. The region is predominantly agricultural and is famous around the world for its unique olive oil, high-quality wine, grains and fruit. The cuisine is characterised above all by the importance given to raw ingredients, from both land and sea, and by the fact that every ingredient is meant to enhance, not alter, the basic flavours of the products used. Orecchiette, horse meat and fresh cheese are just some of the most famous foods from this region. Puglia has also focused on making great red wines from local grapes such as Negroamaro, Primitivo and Bombino Nero, which make for delicious drinking.
