Apulian recipe
Tomatoes in oil
The production of tomatoes preserved in oil, one of Puglia's most prized specialties due to their sweet and sour flavor, is meticulously crafted and requires time and patience. They're typically produced during the hottest months of the year due to the drying process required, but the end result is truly worth it.
