The charm of the Salento farms
Masserie, ancient fortified dwellings, have become refuges of tranquility and authenticity. Here, cooking is a true ritual, a mix of passion, history and local ingredients. Start your journey by exploring the masserie in the Otranto area to savor dishes that reflect the authenticity of Salento cuisine.
Appetizers that tell stories
Your dining experience begins with appetizers that will open the door to a wide range of local flavors. Among the must-haves are the famous "taralli" and "friselline," crunchy and delicious, often accompanied by local cheeses and delicious cured meats. Mediterranean flavors of olives and sun-dried tomatoes mingle in an ode to freshness.
First courses that taste of tradition
Pasta dishes at the masserie in Otranto are a hymn to homemade pasta. Orecchiette, fusilli, pappardelle-the variety is wide and the flavor unmistakable. Seasoned with sauces prepared with freshly picked tomatoes, seasonal vegetables and sometimes freshly caught seafood, they give an explosion of flavors that will win you over.
Main courses: a celebration of meat and fish
Main courses are a triumph of meat and fish, often cooked on the grill or baked. Local meats, such as lamb and pork, are prepared with aromatic herbs and extra virgin olive oil, while fresh fish from the Adriatic Sea becomes the star of dishes that will delight even the most demanding palates.
Desserts to end in goodness
The culinary experience in Otranto's masserie would not be complete without savoring the typical Salento desserts. From pasticciotto, a sweet filled with custard, to "pittule," small fried sweets, each bite is a sweet declaration of love for the local tradition.
