In the enchanting region of Basilicata, culinary tradition is held as a precious treasure. A central element of this rich gastronomic heritage is the homemade preserves, passed down from generation to generation, carrying the authentic flavor of tradition.

Basilicata’s cuisine is renowned for its simplicity and the skillful use of local ingredients. From the hills of Vulture to the Ionian coast, each area contributes unique ingredients that characterize traditional dishes. At the heart of this culinary tradition are homemade preparations, the preserves, encapsulating the pure and unmistakable taste of Basilicata.

Oil-preserved preserves are the result of a return to roots, an art passed down from generation to generation. Whether it’s sun-kissed dried tomatoes, spicy peppers, or artichokes and mushrooms in oil, each jar preserves the wisdom of family traditions.

As Basilicata teaches us: ‘Addu ngè gusto, non c’è pirdenza,’ meaning where there is no taste, there is no loss.

What more to add to this extraordinary teaching from our Lucanian friends, heirs to magical and still unspoiled territories and cultures? Perhaps an aperitif that embodies all this taste.
