Altamura is a city to be discovered not only through its thousand-year history, its medieval alleys and the majestic Cathedral of Frederick II, but also through the scents and flavours that tell the authentic identity of the Alta Murgia.<\/p>\n
This gastronomic walk leads into the heart of the historic centre, among ancient ovens, artisan shops, dairies and traditional pastry shops. An itinerary dedicated to the most representative excellences of the area: Murgia cheeses, Pane di Altamura DOP, the fragrant baked specialities, the famous Tetta della Monaca and the Amaro Padre Peppe.<\/p>\n
The first stop is dedicated to the ancient art of cheese-making. In a historic family-run business we can observe a demonstration of the production of typical dairy products, such as mozzarella, scamorza and burrata. The visit continues with a tasting or a light lunch based on cheeses and selected products of the area.<\/p>\n
The route continues following the unmistakable scent of freshly baked bread. Pane di Altamura DOP, produced according to traditional methods and baked in the characteristic wood-fired ovens, is one of the most important gastronomic symbols of the city.<\/p>\n
At the Forno di Santa Caterina you can savour bread, focaccia and other baked specialities, choosing among different tasting formulas customisable according to the number of participants and the needs of the group.<\/p>\n
The last stop is dedicated to traditional pastry. At the historic Pasticceria Santa Chiara we savour the Tetta della Monaca, the famous soft and delicate Altamura dessert, accompanied by the Amaro Padre Peppe, an aromatic liqueur linked to the scents, herbs and flowers of the Alta Murgia.<\/p>\n
A perfect finale for a walk that combines taste, tradition, craftsmanship and stories handed down for generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
