The tasting journey
-
1 Liter Apulian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Start here. Mario Iaculli’s extra virgin olive oil, from his family mill in Cerignola, cold-pressed. A teaspoon on bread: it is the thread that connects everything.
-
Scaldatelli or Taralli. The daily bread of Francesco Di Biase, a baker for three generations. Only Italian wheat. Dry and crunchy, for between tastings.
-
Bella di Cerignola Olives 550g. Large and meaty. Sweet. The soft entry into the savory.
-
Grandma’s Artichokes 550g. In oil, with herbs and a pinch of sweet chili pepper. Vegetable notes with a bitter undertone. The flavor becomes bolder.
-
Apulian Caciocavallo approx 500g. Aged, savory, with a spicy finish. The flavor takes shape.
-
Sausage approx 400g. The most intense moment. Flavorful: the peak of the journey. Your choice of sweet or spicy.
-
1 kg Raw honey. The finish. Unpasteurized wildflower honey from Salento by beekeeper Alessandro Cuna. A drizzle on the caciocavallo or the sausage. Sweet on savory.
