Will this be the last Ostuni lunch on the piazza of the season?

Top! Yes, wind is a big feature of our weather system. Lying between two seas…

Lu sule, lu mare, lu ientu (the sun, the sea, the wind) - we obsess over it just as much as we do our food!

Nice to hear the food part is going well.

It’s olive harvest time. An important point in the year in Puglia (we are Italy’s top olive oil producer, just over 40% of Italy’s olive oil comes from our region).

To celebrate we go olive oil tasting.

It’s on the reel (at 9s on the countdown)! Added for creaminess, but the texture and flavour are surprising. What’s more, we don’t use them in the Puglia Kitchen like this - and not even for pasta. They were considered a luxury, to be sold rather than used!

The Puglia Guys @pugliaguys.bsky.social · 1d

Ahah! Grazie we will tell him.

Holiday season is coming to an end, but so many people seem to have enjoyed their visit to Puglia. Plus it’s good to hear that our Puglia Guides are being put to practical use!

We are loving it.

With brandy? We use whisky. And the extra dried fruits and nuts go into Christmas pasticciotti.

The Puglia Guys @pugliaguys.bsky.social · 1d

But, very worth visiting, and the complete antidote to the most touristic parts of Puglia. We would rather spend our time in Taranto than Alberobello.

She was the first? On TV, we agree, but perhaps not the first incarnation?

Anyway, we once phoned her when she was at the local theatre - she answered. We didn’t know what to say! 1989. When we were kings of the world.

Ps do you mean ILVA

The Puglia Guys @pugliaguys.bsky.social · 1d

Not sure what they are!

The Puglia Guys @pugliaguys.bsky.social · 1d

We spent some time learning about the Calabria Kitchen. They use an ingredient that is missing from our Puglia Kitchen - and we have to say, added to pasta, it’s a revelation!

We are at one. De Cecco is another we default too for shape. As for the here and now…

Grazie. Here too, although we don’t have USA additional cost challenges you mention. Average #EVOO prices at origin in #Italy - €944,5 per quintal at start of 2025 were more than double those in Spain - €440,2 per quintal. cf. Greece €468,5 per quintal.

As for EVO blended with olive oil…

Followed by an absolutely cracking meal in #RistoFratelliPesce in #Taranto old town. Highly recommended by @pugliaguys.bsky.social, it did not disappoint with Oysters, Cod and Cockles and Mussel Pasta. Off to visit the old town now. #Puglia

Super good to hear that you visited much neglected Taranto. Real Puglia. Real life, and what history too!

Today’s Puglia Kitchen lunch. Pasta al forno alla contadina.

Now we have changed seasons and moved from Puglia’s summer to not-summer season, we can spend more time in the kitchen. It’s a time when comfort food is not only appealing but appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry the weather was so unkind. Our not-summer weather season arrived earlier than usual this year. Still, plenty opportunity for eating well, especially in Ceglie! Safe home.

The Puglia Guys @pugliaguys.bsky.social · 2d

Nice choices! Rummo anytime over Barilla for us (we never buy Barilla pasta).

Ok! Mack & Schühle rather than Marks & Spencer. Grazie.

Puglia is Italy's top olive oil producer, accounting for over 40% of Italy’s olive oil.

October marks the start of the olive harvest. What better way to celebrate this than with an olive oil tasting at Frantoio Savoia in Pezze di Greco, Fasano.
