One of the best-known and most loved Apulian specialties is undoubtedly the tarallo.
A traditional baked product, it has evolved and continues to evolve in numerous variations depending on its production area. It's essentially a ring of unleavened dough baked in the oven. The base is made of flour, water or wine, and salt, to which, in some cases, additional flavoring ingredients are added, such as fennel seeds or taralli with extra virgin olive oil.
Today, however, tarallos come in a wide variety of flavors and specialties, catering to every palate. They range from small tarallini to larger or longer shapes, from traditional to organic, made with whole wheat flour, handmade, naturally leavened, snack-sized, gluten-free, and much more.
In Puglia there are many companies that produce them, everything is done using quality raw materials and at km 0, wood ovens are used and all this gives them a unique flavour, which recalls those traditional, ancient tastes, almost now completely lost, which allow you to immerse yourself in the true atmosphere and flavours of Puglia.
It is also possible to purchase them online, and they can be shipped throughout Italy.
Many establishments offer guided tours to discover this product, demonstrating the production and manufacturing processes, and finally offering tastings.
