Puglia is the protagonist of the week dedicated to the southern Italian region at Expo 2025 Osaka, with the Department of agriculture, rural and environmental development promoting the quality of agrifood products and the regional food and wine culture at an international level.
Local excellence is represented at Expo by products adhering to the collective mark 'Products of Quality - Guaranteed Quality of the Puglia Region' and those with DOP (protected designation of origin), IGP (protected geographical indication) and Biological certifications.
Visitors have been offered the possibility of discovering the authentic flavours of Puglia through tastings and the fascinating explanations of Puglia's Chef Peppe Zullo.
"Simple food for smart people.
"This is the simplest - mozzarella, tomato, fresh basil and olive oil", Zullo said during one of the tastings of the week, when he also showed visitors how to prepare Puglia's typical 'orecchiette' pasta dish.
