Orecchiette
Bari's cuisine is based on three typical
agricultural products found within the
surrounding region of Apulia, namely wheat,
olive oil and wine. The local cuisine is also
enriched by the wide variety of fruit and
vegetables produced locally. Local flour
is used in homemade bread and pasta
production including, most notably, the
famous orecchiette ear-shaped pasta,
recchietelle or strascinate, chiancarelle
(orecchiette of different sizes) and cavatelli.
