Traditions of Puglia

Keepers of Tradition

Puglia is a land of contrasts: the peaks of the Gargano, the plains of the Tavoliere, the trulli of the Valle d'Itria, the beaches of the Salento. Yet everywhere, the common thread is food: hand-made orecchiette, crispy taralli, bombette di Cisternino, pasticciotti leccesi.
