Who loves tomatoes?
We love tomatoes, the precious red gold that we keep for one year, because in August we prepare our own “salsa”, the tomato passata so good to prepare our ragù, pasta al forno, pizzaiola, in many Winter dishes, even for our home made pizza.
Our “salsa” is made by all the members of the families here in Puglia, in the agricultural sites as Mola di Bari.
Would you be part of our extended family?

Day 1

We pick you up from the airport.

If you will arrive in the morning, not so tired, I suggest a walk along the seafront and in the main square of Mola, enjoying the slow way of life of the locals, and sitting in a cafè for an aperitivo, maybe a Spritz with some snacks.

Lunch in masseria.

If you arrive in the afternoon you will be ready for our special welcome dinner.

Day 2

After a gorgeous breakfast, served in the garden if the weather is nice, ready to start our 1 day cooking class.

Most of the vegetables that we need for our dishes comes from our organic garden. It’s a pleasure for our guests to pick up the vegetables with us.
We will buy what we need for our first full day cooking class and we will eat what prepared for lunch and dinner.

But this time we have a meeting here, because we are going to prepare our own “salsa”, the tomato passata!

We are going to prepare also many seasonal vegetables, fresh pasta making and some bakery.

Day 3

After breakfast ready for our 2nd day of cooking class.
We are going to prepare some baked dishes, such as calzone (the onion pie) Focaccia and Taralli.
And if you love cheese please smile.
In the late morning we are going to prepare mozzarelle and burrata here in masseria.
And everything will be ready for lunch.

At the sunset when the boats arrive in Mola di Bari we could buy what we need for our cookery class about fish for our dinner: Riso Patate e Cozze, Octopus, Cavatelli al Nero di Seppia, whatever we will find, so fresh.

Day 4

Alberobello, Locorotondo and the landscape of trulli Valley.

In early afternoon we will visit Polignano, the nice village famous for its sea grottos and for “gelato“. We will have a gelato tasting there.
If the sea and the weather is nice, you can visit Polignano by boat.

Dinner as the locals prefer: carne al fornello, by the butcher. Different kind of grilled meats, that you will eat there: the typical bombette, sausages, ribs, chicken wings, you make the choice. Waiting for your meat, you will have some appetizer such as dry sausages, caciocavallo, pecorino and so on.

Day 5

After breakfast transfer to the airport/station.
