FOOD
FOOD, The cuisine is an intrinsic part of the Puglia experience; it’s a food-lover’s paradise. Rich in agriculture, you’ll see olive trees by the million and orchards reach from one coast to the other and the fruit trees drip with figs, plums, almonds, and, of course, olives. Vegetables are abundant – eggplant, tomatoes, broccoli, broad beans, and chicory, to name a few – and are at the core of Puglian cuisine. Puglia is home to cucina povera – literally ‘poor cooking’ – using whatever is at hand and making the most of humble ingredients. These are dishes that have stood the test of time and shared from one generation to the next.
