See a video from the 2009 Trip to Puglia!
2009 GRI Member Trip - Region of Puglia
Gruppo Ristoratori Italiani has been doing these trips since 1979. Every year we go to a different Region, so that we can learn about New products, New dishes, and New techniques. In other words ours is an educational trip to view the evolution of the food and wine products in the region we visit. Particularly these days when Italian Cuisine is No longer strictly tied-in to its folkloric image of regionality, but making the regional products the pivotal ingredient of Italian Cuisine. As we visit, View, and taste we always bring back with us new ideas for ourselves and the consumer (our customers). Our Trips allow us to keep up with what is happening with Italian food and wine.... after all Italy,for us is still the SOURCE!
Puglia is “the heel” of the boot of peninsular Italy. One of the most fertile regions rich with olive trees, wheat, and vines covering the territory like a colorful patchwork. Puglia is a top olive oil producer and among the biggest Italian producers of tomatoes, carrots, olives, eggplants, artichokes, almonds, and citrus fruit.
