Flavours of Puglia: a culinary journey in a period house

On a sunny day, we'll take a walk to old town of Bari. After visiting the church of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of Bari, we'll have a snack at the bakery to taste the famous focaccia, which has been a symbol of quality for the bakery since the 20th century. Then, we'll explore the streets of the old town to admire the sale of local products such as 'sgagliozze', a fried polenta that we'll taste while ladies fry them, orecchiette, a typical Apulian pasta that we'll see being processed and sold. Finally, we'll visit "Venezia 40" and taste hot panzerotti while enjoying the view of the sea in Bari. We'll say goodbye with the promise to see each other again.
