Olive oil: one of the finest product of Gargano to delight your palate

The temperate microclimate of Gargano makes it the perfect land for the cultivation of one of the most beloved Mediterranean symbols: the olive tree. From north to the south, the region has almost 60 million olive trees and produces one of the finest olive oil in the country.

It’s quite easy to find olive tasting experiences and sample the distinctive local varieties like the famous extra virgin olive oil. This ingredient is part of some of the most traditional recipes like orecchiette con le cime di rapa (orecchiette pasta with broccoli rabe) and the delicious focaccia pugliese.

The next step is to find a nice place to sit underneath the shady olive trees, relax, having lunch and discover what the typical restaurants and menus can offer.
