Leave the coast for the olive-grove interior to cook and eat at a working masseria, the real backbone of Puglian food culture.
What to expect
A short drive inland brings you to a centuries-old masseria surrounded by ancient olive trees. You'll roll orecchiette pasta with the family cook, taste oil straight from their own press, and sit down to a long table lunch of local vegetables, cured meats and wine that never sees a restaurant menu. It's unhurried, generous, and exactly how Salento eats at home.
