Grottaglie, a ceramic lover's dream in Puglia 💚

Grottaglie, a ceramic lover's dream in Puglia 💚

The artisans of Grottaglie handed down from generation to generation a centuries-long tradition,

These terracotta vases are called "Capasoni” and are used as huge container. Originally, the "capasone" was a traditional jar made for keeping and fermentaing wine's must. Now some people put plants and flowers in it.

In order to produce these huge jars, it was used a particular kind of ckay, called "argilla col nervo", that was pull out from Grottaglie's mines. Unfornutanely today is really expensive to pull it out, so "capasoni" are not produced anymore.

The art of dried figs ☀️

To dry figs the traditional method used in Southern Italy is the most natural one: just leave them in the sun (for example on the balcony) for at least three days.

September is certainly the best time to prepare dried figs, to be stored and enjoyed as soon as they are ready, even throughout winter.

Then figs are usually packaged in different ways. A common way of packing in Calabria is the braids in which dried figs are put in two sticks forming a real braid.

Sicilian moor heads: a legend of universal love

Sicilian moor heads: a legend of universal love

Have you ever seen in Sicily a ceramic vase resembling a Moors head? Do you know the legend behind them?

Anyone who has visited Sicily has instantly fallen in love with one of the most ornamental attributes of this land, often present in the form of ceramic decorations adorned on the balconies or in the old villas of the island. These are known as the “Teste di Moro,” meaning Moors head.

Behind these objects used to adorn their homes and gardens, hides a very special story, made of love, jealousy, and revenge.

The protagonists of this legend are: a young Moor and a Sicilian girl during the period of the domination of the Moors in Sicily.

The young Moor fell madly in love with her and openly declared his ardent passion for her.

The young woman, accustomed to a solitary life, was pleasantly struck by this promise of love and reciprocated her feelings by giving herself to him.

After a short time, the young girl discovered that the Moor was hiding a very serious secret, he had a wife and children.

The maiden was destroyed to learn such news and was seized with anger which inexorably pushed her to revenge.

So in the night, she decided to cut off his head, creating with it a vase, where she placed a basil sprout inside.

A Sicilian sweet pleasure, Saint Agatha's Breasts or Minne di Sant'Agata

This typical dessert is made in honor of the patron saint of Catania, Saint Agatha

The main ingredients of this celestial manicaretto are ricotta cheese, marzipan and powdered sugar, that combine with a sort of feminine grace to create a subtle seduction that is difficult to resist.

According to tradition, minne should always be eaten in even numbers: two breasts means two sweets per person.

What do you eat when you’re in Salento?
Sea Urchins!

Freshly caught in and around the inlet, these ricci di mare (their name in Italian) are the pride of Salento, especially in Porto Badisco.

In the summer, people eat the urchins by the hundreds, buying them at the local market just south of the cove or diving for them.

There are several traditional ways to eat them, with pasta, slathered on bread alone or with provolone cheese, or with a small spoon to lift out the flesh.
