It is a peasant gastronomic tradition that uses simple ingredients such as legumes, vegetables and greens, cheeses, very little meat and blue fish. Unique and genuine flavors that come from simple products, fruit of the crystalline seas and the fantastic red earth of Salento. Cultivated with passion for decades and combined with each other with the typical Salento imagination, capable of enhancing every characteristic without ever becoming too elaborate.
