Why Puglia's Cuisine
is the Soul of Italy
Known as the "Garden of Italy," Puglia is the largest producer of olive oil, wheat, and wine in the country. The cuisine, often called **Cucina Povera** (peasant cooking), is a masterclass in how to turn simple, earthy ingredients into world-class delicacies.
