What is Apulia or Puglia?
Puglia is a region in the south of Italy made up of several different cities and towns. It’s known for its incredible food, beautiful beaches, and magnificent architecture, as well as its warm weather. Spend one week traveling through all of the major cities, like Lecce (Salento), Bari, Brindisi, and Taranto to capture the essence of this charming region.
Altamura Bread
The bread of Altamura tells the story of this small town in Puglia. Home to the country's only DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) bread made with durum flour milled from semolina grown in the area. This beautiful region has developed a unique heritage and culture that is reflected in its breadmaking process. The perfect bread for any occasion, Altamura is a truly artisanal product that has many delicious defining characteristics. Its distinctive, crisp crust, signature yellow color, and soft-textured crumb are all part of the allure of Altamura. We’re confident you’ll enjoy it just as much as we do!
Stracciatella Cheese
Our organic Stracciatella cheese from Puglia is the creamy center of burrata. It’s made from shredded threads of mozzarella (sfilacci) mixed with fresh cream.
Fiaschetto Tomatoes
Fiaschetto, are small Pugliese plum tomatoes that have a sweet and fruity taste which makes them ideal for purees and sauces. When you pop one of these delicate flavour bombs in your mouth they burst with an immense amount of fresh juiciness, balanced with a mild acidity, and highly aromatic qualities. The Fiaschetto tomato is part of a Slow Food Presidia. These are communities of farmers, food artisans, and more from around the world that strive to keep traditional production techniques alive.
Artichokes
Carciofo is a type of globe-shaped artichoke that grows in the province of Brindisi, in the region of Puglia. This artichoke is crunchy, flavorful, and tender with a milder and sweeter taste than most other types.
Black Leccino Olives
Leccino black olives are a smaller variety of olive yet they pack a powerful flavour punch! You can enjoy them on their own or transform them into high-quality olive oil. You’ll find them in some of our Puccia and our antipasto!
Parmigiana Mamma Anna
We hope you’re hungry! This secret family recipe comes to life with crispy fried aubergine, organic mozzarella, tomato sauce, and savory Apulian cheeses. Passed down for generations by Mamma Anna, (Mimmo’s mom) this is a dish you can’t miss! Every portion of our Parmigiana Mamma Anna is 300 gr and comes with our Altamura bread that you can use to mop up all the wonderful sauce! The Italians affectionately call this act of cleaning your plate ‘’scarpetta’’.
Lasagna Casereccia
If you want a meal that is as comforting as it is rich and delicious, then our 300 gr lasagna casereccia is the dish for you! The combination of our slow-cooked veal ragu and luscious béchamel sauce will surely have you licking the plate clean!
Chickpea Hummus
All the ingredients in our delectable hummus make it distinctly Apulian. The combined flavours of the Apulian chickpeas, tahini, grilled artichokes, roasted sweet peppers, orange zest, lemon zest, and rosemary make our hummus unlike any other!
Dough
Our slow-leavened panzerotti dough is 100% vegan. It contains the highest-quality extra virgin olive oil, two types of flour, a mother yeast starter, and other secret ingredients!
Stufato
This traditional peasant stew with onions, olives, capers, and cherry tomatoes reminds us of the aromas of Salento, Italy. This unique combination of flavours defies the passage of time. Stufato di Cipolla is a southern Italian recipe.
Capocollo Ham
Capocollo di Martina Franca is recognized as the best preserved ham in Puglia! This rare prized ham is made from the muscles between the head and neck of the pig. Creating this tasty ham is truly a labor of love and takes many months to produce. It’s incredibly flavourful and aromatic with hints of black peppercorns, thyme, bay leaf, wine, and a pleasant smokiness to round it all out.
Smoked Tuna Carpaccio
We use fresh yellowfin tuna sliced paper-thin and beechwood smoked to give it a uniquely delicious flavour. Its appearance is a beautiful bright pink, similar to our preserved ham. Trust us when we say, it’s definitely tuna, not ham!
Pickled Red Onions
Our homemade pickled onions have a unique aromatic twist with ingredients like rosé wine, organic mandarin honey, and laurel.
Salsa Tonnata
The curcuma, chives, lemon zest, and orange zest make this salsa tonnata uniquely Apulian. The bright citrusy flavours give this condiment a fresh summery feel.
Spumone
Spumone is the king of all ice creams and a true symbol of Puglia! There are many different variations on this classic dessert out there. However, the traditional spumone has a sponge cake center soaked in liqueur with hazelnuts, all surrounded by chocolate ice cream. It was typically always molded in a round bowl giving it its classic dome shape.
Pasticciotto Leccese
This sweet cake was invented by Andrea Ascalone in the town of Galatina in Lecce, Italy in the 1700s. The dessert was created by accident using ingredients from large leftover tortas to create one small tasty cake. The name pasticcio loosely translates to “mishap” or “mess”. We serve the classic version of this pastry from the historic Caffé Alvino, Piazza S.Oronzo in Lecce which contains a rich and flavourful custard.
Dolcenella
Not your mamma’s Nutella! Our 100% Puglia-produced, palm oil-free, hazelnut spread only gets better by being stuffed into our panzerotti dough.
Coffee
The Battista family has been expertly roasting coffee for more than 80 years. Their extensive experience has given them a natural talent for producing beautifully rich and full-flavoured coffee blends that are enjoyed by so many. We proudly serve their highest quality, organic, and fairtrade higher gamma blend in every cup!
