Oria and Slow Food: Perfect Union
Oria joins the Slow Food network, promoting quality food and local tradition.
What is a Slow Food Condotta?
A Condotta is a territorial presidium that is part of the Slow Food movement. Its goal is to enhance local products, the work of producers, and traditional gastronomic culture. Each condotta aims to create a strong bond between producers and consumers, promoting good, clean, and fair food.
What changes for tourists?
Visitors to Oria will find a gastronomic offer that is more attentive to quality and authenticity. Local products will be at the center of events, tastings, markets, and workshops. It will be possible to meet producers directly and discover the story behind each dish. This means a deeper and more authentic experience for those who want to truly know the territory.
Activities and initiatives planned?
The Condotta will organize public events to tell the story of local culinary traditions, promote typical products, and encourage experiential tourism. Restaurants, farms, wineries, and bakeries from the area will be involved. In this way, even small producers will be able to make themselves known to those who come from outside.
Where is it located and how to participate?
The symbolic headquarters of the Condotta is Palazzo Martini, in the historic center of Oria. This is where meetings and events are held. The project is open to everyone: citizens, tourists, curious individuals, restaurateurs, and anyone who wants to discover and enhance local food. Just participate in public meetings or follow activities online and in the city.
Why is it worth visiting Oria now?
Oria becomes an even more interesting destination for those who love to travel with taste and know the roots of places. The Slow Food project adds value to the visit: not only monuments and landscapes but also genuine gastronomic experiences tied to the territory. It is a way to experience Puglia more consciously and sustainably.
A project looking to the future?
The new Condotta aims to become a reference point for those who believe in tourism that respects the environment and people. Each initiative will be designed to strengthen the bond between the community and the territory, involving those who live in Oria and those who visit. The future is made of collaborations, renewing traditions, and food that tells stories.
