Burrata is almost everywhere and frankly overrated… although it has vivid memories of my childhood, long before it became a trendy staple on every menu and restaurant. My first taste of its stracciatella filling was a revelation. Whenever we arrived in Puglia, my Zia Maria and Zia Nunzia would have to welcome us with a tray of freshly made stracciatella. And it was always served with crunchy focaccia, taralli, Apulian cucumbers - caresidd, barattir, scupatizz, cummarazz - and cured olives.In the 90s, only a few dairies in the province of Bari crafted this delicacy. Firm on the outside, creamy on the inside, extremely tasty and satisfying to eat with just some pomodori and rucola on the side, it’s perfect for warm days. Burrata is not just a cheese; it’s a culinary experience that brings back sweet memories of the warmest Italian hospitality. #burratacheese #cheeseplease #burrata #burratalovers #travelwithzest #zestofitaly #italianculinaryculture #gastronomia #italiangastronomy #gastronomy #gastronomelife #gastronome #exploreitaly #exploringitaly #culinaryculture

Enjoying a slice of cassata in beautiful Noto, Sicily. 📍Cassata is the Queen of traditional Sicilian pastries. Its name might come from the Arabic ‘qas’at’ meaning ‘basin,’ or from the Latin ‘caseum’ meaning ‘cheese,’ due to its rich ricotta filling. This dessert dates back to the 9th century, evolving through many influences like Sicily’s own history. It’s made with moist sponge cake layered with sweetened ricotta (preferably sheep) and candied fruits, all wrapped in a vibrant marzipan shell. I’ve tasted quite a few, but this one is truly exceptional! 💯📍 Caffè Sicilia, Noto

🍂✍🏻Springtime that feels like autumn has me dreaming of Piedmont’s bianchetto truffle, Tuber albidum pico. Mostly unknown and often mistaken for its famous cousin, the white truffle, by non-expert noses, the bianchetto is less aromatic and generally smaller, with a marbled gleba featuring whitish and white-reddish veins on a brown-reddish background. 🤠There’s something magical about the moment they serve you handmade tagliolini, scratch truffles right before your eyes, and offer a glass of Nebbiolo. The air fills with that subtle earthy aroma, and you can’t help but anticipate the delicate yet powerful flavors ready to invade your mouth. 🍷🍝Oh, man! Now I’m craving truffles! Too bad the bianchetto season has just ended.🫠#truffle #piedmont #visitpiemonte #visititaly #gastronomy #culinaryculture #gastronomia #gastronome #exploreitaly #exploringitaly #tartufi

Ever wondered what’s inside an oven? Let me show you! 🥖🔥 Here’s a peek inside the historic Forno Santa Caterina, the oldest community oven in Altamura. Here the famous Pane di Altamura DOP is crafted. 🍞💡Fun fact: Pane di Altamura is made with re-milled semolina and ranks among the most beloved breads in Italy! 🇮🇹❤️Giacomo led me through a tasting of bread loafs weighing between 1 to 10kg, taralli, and focaccia thicker and airier than the Barese. It is official: Puglia never stops to amaze me💯#altamura #panedialtamura #ovenbaked #oven #travelwithzest #puglia #visitpuglia #pugliafood #visititaly #exploreitaly #exploringitaly #exploringpuglia #arounditaly #italiabella

That's what it looks like to be on the roof of Europe, Monte Bianco, also known as the eighth wonder of the world and listed in the seven summits. We reached up here with the Skyway an extreme cable car engineering challenge at 3.500 mt. Immersed in a breathtaking landscape, surrounded by the eternal glacier of Europe's highest mountain, monte Bianco 4.808 mt. #montebianco #montblanc #skyway #worldwonder #zestofitaly
