Puglia:
the heel of the boot

The tradition of dried tomatoes has been handed down for centuries, to Central and Southern Italy, but it is in Puglia that the major producers are concentrated.

Puglia is a land embraced by two seas, the Ionian and the Adriatic, with crystal clear waters, and a coastline that stretches for 800 km. The region inspires with a blend of hospitality, history, nature, and art, rich in archaeological and architectural treasures dating back to the ancient Greeks and Romans.

From extra virgin olive oil to fine wines, food products from Puglia are being recognized internationally for their excellence. Artisanal cheeses, cured meats and sun-dried tomatoes are a major staple of Central and Southern Italy, and the major producers are located in Puglia.

Alberobello, in the province of Bari, Puglia.
