PROGRAM

Afternoon:

6 p.m.: Meeting point in Grottaglie near Campus Campitelli

6.15 p.m.: Departure to the Blasi farmlands

6.30 p.m.: Arrival at the Blasi farm, producer of table grapes and olive oil.

The guided tour includes a walk to discover the natural elements of a rural and surprising landscape, getting lost among the rows of vines and the headlands, brushing against the vine leaves, deep in the intense scents of the ground and the vineyards.

During the visit, the agronomic techniques used for cultivation will be explained; it will be also possible to see the beds where worm compost is produced and the bee hives that the farm houses, in a context where biodiversity is not only protected but encouraged as well. A small natural oasis, where a diverse ecosystem is being recreated, also thanks to the presence of a small orchard and a vegetable garden.

After the visit, each participant will start picking up tomatoes that will be used to prepare his own frisa, this ancient type of bread with a genuine flavour (naturally leavened by the Pregiata Forneria di Emanuele Lenti), the result of 0 km raw materials, with excellent nutritional values.

The dish will be enjoyed under the vineyard , seasoned with extra virgin olive oil from the Frantoio Oleario Nastasia and other typical herbs.

The participants could bring at home the little EVO oil bottle and the remaining frise.

Not the usual itinerary, but a route based on pillars such as sustainability, ethics, participation and authenticity, inviting guests to think about the importance of choosing food considering its social and cultural value.
