Celebrating the Mediterranean diet and the Matino and Salento tradition

At ‘A Locanda tù Marchese’, a typical Salento trattoria, guests and non-guests of our Masseria in Matino will find traditional Apulian and Salento dishes that refer to the dictates of the Mediterranean Diet. Since 2010, this set of simple dishes, common to the peoples of the Mediterranean, has been ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage’, recognised and protected by Unesco. The special combination of legumes, cereals, vegetables, meat and fish creates a mix of flavours and smells, perfectly able to tell the story of a territory.

Our collaboration with Coldiretti farmers and breeders within the Campagna Amica project and the rich production of our farm is a further guarantee of the seasonality and genuineness of the ingredients, indispensable factors of the Mediterranean Diet.

Who is the lady on the left?

Nonna Tetta, who better than she together with Chef Daniele, with her skilful hands, can take care of these exceptional ingredients. Professionalism and ancient knowledge of housewife, son-in-law and mother-in-law, come together to offer generational recipes, to savour the Salento of yesteryear made of waiting, care and study of local raw materials.
