The post What to Eat in Lecce, Italy appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Named after Lecce where it originated and continues to be most available, Caffe Leccese is a coffee drink perfect for the summer heat. It’s an espresso poured over ice, with a special almond milk syrup layered beneath. Mixed together, it’s perfectly cool and sweet. If you visit Avio Bar, which belongs to the family who invented the drink, you’ll find an even better version of it with a layer of creamy shaken espresso.
When you order your Caffe Leccese, you should absolutely pair it with a Pasticciotto. This custard-filled treat also originates in Lecce, and is often eaten for breakfast alongside coffee. Its original purpose was to use up leftover cake batter, so the pastry is cakey and crumbly with a perfect caramelized crustiness on the outside.
Negroamaro and Primitivo are two wine grapes native to the Puglia region. They are most commonly and successfully grown there due to the climate and have been associated with the area for nearly a thousand years. They are both delicious dark red wines that are worth trying while you’re closest to their origins.
