Christmas of Apulian excellence
Give an experience, not just a gift basket.
The “Puglian Excellence Christmas Box” is far more than a selection of fine foods; it is an invitation to enjoy a unique culinary ritual: the festive aperitif as celebrated by the Lucarella family.
Presented in an elegant gift box, it brings together ingredients chosen to create an extraordinary interplay of flavours, where sweetness and savoury notes meet in perfect harmony. It is the ideal gift for gourmet enthusiasts and for anyone wishing to bring the true spirit of Puglia to the table.
Inside the box:
Artisanal Panolio (1 kg): our signature leavened creation. Made without butter, using our Florido Extra Virgin Olive Oil and natural sourdough. Soft, light, highly digestible and rich in Mediterranean aromas, it is the perfect starting point for this journey of taste.
Capocollo from Martina Franca (approx. 750 g): the king of charcuterie from the Itria Valley. Marinated in vincotto and smoked with fragno bark, it delivers an intense, enveloping flavour that melts on the palate.
Mild Caciocavallo (approx. 600 g): a stretched-curd cheese with a gentle, milky taste that perfectly tempers the savouriness of the capocollo.
Lucarella Cooked Grape Must (100 ml): the elegant finishing touch. A dense, velvety elixir obtained from the slow cooking of grape must, creating an aromatic “bridge” between the various components.
Verdeca Brut Sparkling Wine – Valle d’Itria IGP (750 ml): fresh, mineral, with a fine perlage. Its vibrant acidity cleanses the palate and invites the next bite.
The Olive Mill Master’s Recommendation: how to enjoy it
Forget the usual rules. This set is meant to be experienced all together, as a generous festive aperitif that will surprise your guests:
-
Slice the Panolio and lightly toast it (optional).
-
Top with a thin slice of Capocollo and a shaving of Caciocavallo.
-
Add a few drops of Cooked Grape Must.
-
Pair with an ice-cold glass of Verdeca sparkling wine.
The result: an explosion of flavour where sweetness, savouriness and aromatic depth come together in harmony. A pure expression of Puglian elegance, ready to be unwrapped and enjoyed.
