If you think you like olive oil, just wait until you try it in Puglia. The olive orchards are the Puglians pride and joy, their heritage and their claim to fame. They locals allege it's the best in the world, and I tend to agree with them. The older villages along the coast and those inland as well, are mostly white-washed, due to the very warm summer weather. You feel as though you could be in Greece, Spain or Portugal, yet in Puglia, you are dining on Italian cuisine, and most of the time you eat outdoors. So while you are enjoying the pasta al mare with Puglian bread, you smell the salt air while sipping the divine Puglian wine. What's not to love about this combo?
