Joel do you prefer it to the oils of Liguria, Umbria or Collio (Friuli)? I prefer even Tuscan oils in general to those of Puglia, but the Tuscans tend to be a bit more peppery than I like. Pugliese olive oil, in my experience is very mellow, but is blander and less intensely fruity than those from the more northern (and hilly) areas
 
Kirk, do you track which olive varieties are used in each area or, perhaps more to the point, in each bottling you've tried? I seem to recall Zul expounding upon good and bad ones (...I think he described leccino as the Muller-Thurgau of olives).

i wish i could, but no. Best i can do is to track the producer/bottler. Trampetti (in Spoleto) has a few different releases that I have enjoyed tremendously. Galardi and Fontodi also make very nice Tuscan oils.
 
ok, were should one eat in puglia in general? good towns, out of the way, not too touristy, comfortable to spend a weekend in...?

Invest in a copy of Osterie d'Italia; can't go wrong with any place in the book. Ceglie Messapica is an especially food friendly town:

Ceglie Messapica near Bindisi is the Place to go for food:
- Cibus one of the best Trattoria's I've ever been in Italy. Big Statement. Nice wine list
- Da Ricci (1 star Michelin) v v nice setting a more refined cusine.

Both places are v well know in the area.

Have tons of other places if needed.

very strong 2d endorsement of both Cibus and Da Ricci. Both superb. and different from each other.

Except maybe Il Bacco Felice in Foligno.

Craziest dinner I ever had.

even Bacco Felice is good; the owner is a very strange (but well meaning) guy. the food is good and the wine selection is heartfelt and plenty of good choices. Is BF the best entry in Osterie d'Italia for le Marche? No, but is it still a place where you can get a good meal at a very fair price? I think so.
