Why choose a Puglia farmhouse accomodation Puglia close to Ceglie Messapica ? We have more than one reason to give you and all for exigent tasting.
The first for slow food’s lovers: the Ceglie Messapica Biscuit, a Slow Food Presidium around which the Consortium for the enhancement and protection of the Ceglie Messapica Biscuit was formed, provides that all ingredients except sugar, are from the territory.
The ingredients are peeled and chopped local almonds, half toasted; cherry or grape jam, prepared with ancient local varieties; whole honey; rosolio of citrus fruits such as lemon, bergamot, citron, mandarin and others; grated lemon rind, fresh eggs and sugar. It is a cube-shaped cake, prepared with almonds blanched in water, partly toasted and then ground, but not so much as to lose the grain of the fruit. Knead with sugar, honey, lemon rind, soak with rosolio of citrus fruits and then firm with eggs (about 4 eggs for a kilo of almond paste). When the dough is firm and resistant, strips 12-14 cm long and 35-40 cm long are cut out and seasoned with cherry or grape jam and then closed on the other side.
Then proceed by cutting the squares: here are the piscquett’l, which will be cooked for about twenty minutes and possibly glazed (gileppatura) with a solution of sugar.
