A family story, a story Apulian of gastronomic passion, love for traditions but also for authentic tourist itineraries.
Grandma Giulia was “the housewife”, grandfather Michele “the head of the family”, 7 children and 17 grandchildren!
It was the family meals and experiences shared during the holidays that inspired Grandpa Michele's children and grandchildren to develop an idea with typically Apulian content. Each family holiday was celebrated with eager anticipation, with everyone actively participating. Uncles and aunts brought fresh fish, mothers kneaded dough on the boards, preparing Christmas cakes, traditional biscuits, panzerotti, potato focaccia, potato croquettes...
It is from the precious foundations of these indelible memories that the " Nonno Michele " company was born today, to tell the story of Puglia through family rituals through traditional recipes, ancient terms and sayings, typical gastronomic products, local crafts, and tourist itineraries. Thus was born the "mission" of Nonno Michele, creating high-quality food products with meticulously crafted packaging, environmentally friendly, and rich in traditional content and tourist references.
The small and delicious aperitif tarallino, for example, will be named "A'spizzua'," which in Apulian dialect means "to nibble." This product will be paired with a tasting of farm cheeses, Apulian olives, Primitivo di Manduria wine, and capocollo from Martina Franca. The "A'spizzua" tarallino, paired with other products, will take you to the origins of local production, introducing you to Puglia's most renowned tourist destinations.
