ITALIAN GASTRONOMY
APULIAN GASTRONOMY: AN OLD CULTURAL TRADITION The province of Lecce
has, without a doubt, a Mediterranean look about it. Its hot climate and
vicinity to the sea, added to being so far south, are ideal for the growth
of "weed" and olive trees. The entire territory is covered with
olive groves, from which the delicious Pugliese olive oil is pressed.
In many parts the rows of olive trees are alternated with large vineyards;
vine-growing provides one of the area's main sources of income. The wines
produced in this region are full of body and are particularly suitable
for making vermouth. The wine and the olive-oil are two foundemental components
of the Salentine cuisine.
All of these dishes have borrowed directly from cultures of the Mediterranean Basin and beyond, attesting to Salento's role as the meeting point of the most ancient of civilisations. Starting dates: every week OUR STUDENTS SAY ABOUT
