Flavors of Puglia: The Best Local Products to Take Home

Puglia is a sun-kissed land, famous for its culinary traditions, its breathtaking landscapes and the warm hospitality of its inhabitants. A visit to this wonderful region cannot be considered complete without having savored and brought home a piece of its rich food and wine tradition. Here is a selection of the best local products that we recommend to our guests of BORGANTHIA, to bring with them the authentic taste of Puglia.

  • Extra virgin olive oil

    Apulian oil is renowned throughout the world for its superior quality. Produced from the centuries-old olive trees that dot the landscape of the Itria Valley, this liquid gold is a must for anyone wanting to bring home an authentic flavor of the region. Perfect for dressing salads or to simply be enjoyed on a slice of fresh bread.

  • taralli Pugliesi

    These little crunchy snacks are the perfect accompaniment for an aperitif or snack during the day. Made with simple ingredients such as flour, olive oil, salt and white wine, taralli are available in various flavours, including fennel, chilli and onion. Easy to carry, they are the perfect souvenir to share with friends and family.

  • Local cheeses: Burrata and Caciocavallo

    Puglia is also famous for its cheeses, particularly burrata, a creamy delight that melts in your mouth, and caciocavallo, a mature cheese perfect for enjoying on its own or with honey and local jams. Both represent the excellence of Apulian dairy production.

  • Wines from the Itria Valley

    With an ideal climate and fertile soils, Puglia is one of the main wine-growing regions of Italy. From robust reds to fresh whites, Apulian wines are prized for their quality and variety. A visit to the cellar for a tasting is an experience not to be missed, as is taking home a select bottle or two.

  • Artisan almonds and sweets

    Apulian almonds are among the tastiest, used in the preparation of traditional desserts such as pasticciotti, biscuits and cakes. These desserts, together with jams and preserves made with local fruit, are very sweet souvenirs that contain the flavors and aromas of Puglia.
