Encounters
First a person. Then the journey.
An olive mill in October, strings of peppers drying in the late-summer sun, a village where Arbëreshë is still spoken. Choose who to start from: we build the trip around that encounter.
Senise · Basilicata
Peperoni cruschi, from the string to the pan
Sun-dried in long strings, fried in seconds. A gesture you learn by watching someone who has always done it.

The Arbëreshë village and the Raganello gorge
Language, bread and landscape in a village you cross on foot. The sea is kept for the last day.

Our roots · Giovinazzo
Apulica began in a bakery in Giovinazzo.
Grandfather Sebastiano and grandmother Marianna had a bakery. People brought their trays to be baked; they made focacce and more, and my father delivered by bicycle with a tray carrier. For us, food has always been the way people meet. Apulica carries on from there.
