The best food and wine to try in Puglia and where to try them
You’re on your way to Puglia in Italy and quite rightly, you want to know the best food and wine to try in Puglia and where to try them! With this region recently recommended by the Washington Post as the best region to visit due to it’s food, we decided to give our tips of the best food and wines to try in Puglia while visiting the area and some recommendations of where to try them!
Burrata cheese and Stracciatella cheese
Stracciatella is a cheese made up of small strips of high quality mozzarella made from buffalo or cow’s milk and fresh cream. Its texture is extremely creamy and it is often added to sandwiches or pasta.
As always, apulians – specifically from the Murgia area – wanted to take two perfect cheeses and make something even better, of which burrata cheese was born. Stracciatella is placed in the centre protected by an outer layer of mozzarella cheese. This cheese is simply divine and is definitely the best food to try in Puglia. As both cheeses are a delicacy, it is advised to eat promptly once made and doesn’t keep well, even while refrigerated.
Pasta Orecchiette
Translated as little ears, apulians clearly wanted pasta their way. The purpose of the shape is to capture the scrumptious sauces associated with pasta, creating a delightful equilibrium when eating. You’ll likely find images online of Apulian ladies in the city of Bari, in the street, making this pasta by hand and it’s quite the sight. Almost all restaurants in the Puglia region will list an orecchiette pasta dish on their menu, so there is no excuse not to try it. If that isn’t enough, why not try making it yourself with Antonella at her Fresh Pasta Making Class with Aperitivo, near Brindisi – what a dream!
