Puglia Bites / A Taste of Puglia, one Bite at a Time
At Puglia Bites, we bring the authentic flavours of Puglia straight to your table. We are a small, local business with a big passion for traditional recipes and genuine ingredients.
Our selection includes artisan Taralli — the iconic Puglian crunchy snack — available in a variety of flavours, as well as homemade biscuits, sweet treats, and baked goods, all prepared using original Puglian recipes.
Every single product is freshly made to order and crafted in small batches to ensure the highest quality and authentic taste. We do not produce large quantities, as we believe every bite should arrive at your door just as it would in a Puglian bakery: fresh, genuine, and ready to enjoy.
For this reason, we work exclusively on a pre-order basis — guaranteeing that what you receive is always made especially for you, baked fresh and shipped quickly.
OUR PRODUCTS
1. Pugliarelli: freshly baked Taralli
Our Pugliarelli (Taralli) are a traditional Italian snack that is loved for its crunchy texture and savory flavor. These small, circular-shaped snacks are made from a simple dough of flour, olive oil, and white wine, which is then shaped and baked to perfection. The result is a crispy and golden brown exterior that gives way to a slightly chewy and flavorful center. Each bite is a perfect balance of salty and nutty notes, making it a popular choice for pairing with a variety of dips.
Try our Pugliarelli in 3 flavours:
Fennel Pugliarelli – Classic and aromatic, with the unmistakable crunch and the gentle sweetness of fennel seeds.
Hot Spicy Pugliarelli – Bold and fiery, these taralli bring a spicy southern twist to every crunchy bite.
Onion Pugliarelli – Crunchy handmade taralli made with authentic Apulian red onion recipe. A traditional Southern Italian snack, perfect with wine or cheese.
