Bombette, the local meat rolls

Around Martina Franca, Cisternino, Locorotondo and Alberobello you taste the bombette: meat rolls filled with cheese, salt and pepper, cooked on the grill or in the butchers’ own ovens, often served in paper cones with a slice of bread. Every butcher guards a secret recipe.

Extra-virgin olive oil

Apulia’s green gold, made by farms with long family traditions, is famed worldwide. The Itria Valley produces several kinds of EVO oil thanks to careful selection of cultivars: yellow with green glints, it wraps every dish in the intense scent of fresh olives.

Capocollo di Martina Franca

The oaks around Cisternino and the mild air are the stars of a long tale of taste: their bark, with other plants of the maquis, smokes the capocollo prized all over Italy. Coarse salt, pepper, herbs, local spices and vin cotto.
