Puglia on a plate
Aquasale is a project born from a window overlooking the Apulian countryside: a land dotted with olive trees, fruit trees, stone walls, and traditional Apulian stone huts. One day, watching from this window, we had the feeling that the only right thing to do was to make as many people aware of our region as we possibly could.
We want to do so through quality, regional food and through the Aquasale store, where our products are available for your enjoyment.
The Aquasale team:
Only together can we build something important, and certainly we are doing just that. The Aquasale team is motivated and passionate. Together, we share a dream, which has become an endeavour.
Skilfully guiding us is Pierluca Ardito, a highly experienced Apulian chef, currently the executive chef of Restaurant Nobis and the Grand Hotel La Chiusa of Chietri Alberobello. He is also the team coach of the Italian National Chefs.
I have travelled and I love to travel, often joining my professional interests with personal curiosity. I enjoy walking through the spice markets in large cities, where I seek new flavours to use in my dishes. Yet, in the face of such a desire to learn and experience “other” kitchens, I place myself firmly in the cultural heritage represented by my Apulian origin.A Puglia is a kind of bridge between the West and Asia. It’s the meeting point between cultures and cooking styles, which are able to merge into a single, marvellous Mediterranean context. Just as I have developed my skills, the region has become this magical, alluring corner of the world. Now, it will always bring forth a certain magic, flavour and aroma.
