Puglia
Italy’s heel, also known as the country’s pantry because of its red soil, rich produce and otherworldly herbs.
Thanks to its porous and mineral-rich limestone soil, proximity to the sea and scorching hot summers, Puglia is also where Italy’s most delicious food is produced. Bunches of herbs dusted with salt from the air; figs that thrive in sandy coastal fields; and peppers of heavenly sweetness. Fancy it is not, but bountiful it is.
Proprietors
In 2011, Pernille and Lars Lembcke purchased Palazzo Penelope. As they got to know the area and started growing their own produce, they discovered facets of Puglia that deserve recognition not only within Italy, but around the world. That sparked an interest to cultivate, preserve and spread learnings from Puglia to the friends and guests around the world.
