A Taste of Puglia
The geographical make up of this region lends itself to gastronomic greatness. Its iron-rich soil and sun-soaked landscape create an ideal growing climate making it a highly agricultural area. Its mountainous interior makes the perfect breeding ground for livestock such as sheep, goats and cows that provide both meat and milk for some of the most incredible cheeses. Five hundred miles of coastline on the other hand provide a bounty of seafood that also plays a large role in the local cuisine.
