Traditional dishes
Turi's cuisine tells a story of ancient traditions, respect for the seasons, and knowledge passed down through time. In this section, we present some of the most representative dishes and products of Turi's tradition, recognized as Traditional Agri-food Products (PAT), an authentic expression of the region's identity.
The Turi Ferrovia Cherry, the Faldacchea and the Trònere are not only gastronomic delicacies, but symbols of a culture that unites agriculture, family and community, and which continues to live on at the tables and in the village's festivals.

FERROVIA CHERRY, TURI'S RED GOLD
A fruit born of a generous land and an agricultural tradition patiently preserved. Crisp, glossy, and deep in colour, the Ferrovia cherry is appreciated throughout Italy for its unmistakable quality.
In Turi, it is not just a cherry: it is a symbol of identity and the sweetest sign of spring’s return.

Cartellate and Saint Anthony Abbot’s Porcelli
Cartellate are a traditional Apulian dessert, typically prepared during the Christmas period: a thin sheet of dough rolled into a spiral and fried until crisp. The same dough is also used to make percièdde de Sànde Anduène, small fried dumplings soaked in vincotto (cooked grape must) and cinnamon.

Focaccia a Sfoglie from Turi
In Turi, focaccia is more than bread: it is memory, layered and revealed. Fecàzze a sfuègghie, with its oil-brushed layers and the aroma of a wood-fired oven, tells the story of an ancient tradition made of slow gestures, festive Sundays, and flavours that stand the test of time.

Broad Beans — A Humble Flavour That Becomes Memory
Humble and ancient, broad beans tell the most authentic story of Apulian cuisine. Creamy with chicory, used to dress pasta, fried as an aperitif snack or paired more creatively with grapes, they express a simple, versatile tradition deeply rooted in the land.

PERCOCA DI TURI, A SUMMER FRUIT
The Percoca is a variety of peach originating from the area of Turi, prized for its firm flesh, intense aroma, and distinctive flavour. Deeply rooted in local agricultural tradition, it is a summer fruit that tells the story of the land’s generosity and the close relationship between the seasons, labour, and rural culture.

OLIVE OIL,GODS ESSENCE
Olive oil is one of the most representative local products of Turi, an expression of an ancient agricultural culture deeply rooted in the land. Born from olive groves that shape the rural landscape, it tells the story of the rhythm of the seasons, patient labour, and knowledge passed down through generations.

BURRATA, THE SOFTNESS THAT TELLS THE STORY OF PUGLIA
A stretched-curd shell enclosing a soft, creamy heart. Burrata is one of the most beloved symbols of Puglia's tradition: simple, authentic, deeply rooted in the culture of fresh milk and artisanal skills. In Turi, it's enjoyed plain, with extra virgin olive oil and bread, to savor the purest essence of the region.
