Gastronomy<\/span><\/h3>\n

Cegliese cookery is a section of tourist lure.\u00a0Cookery has not undergone an essential change; the recipes have been handed\u00a0 down from generation to generation up to present day.
\nIt is a home cooking whose features are far from fast food cooking and food globalisation.\u00a0The town is the undisputed capital of Alto Salento gastronomy for its numerous recognitions.
\nOur cookery is linked to local produce and follows the rhythm of the sesasons.\u00a0The local supreme dish\u00a0 is the home made pasta \u201c stacchiodd\u201d and \u201cstrascinati (orecchiette and durum whole wheat flour maccheroni)\u201d served with tomato sauce, basil and grated cheese \u201ccacio ricotta\u201d.<\/h4>\n
