OLIVE TREES<br />
Delicious Results<br />
THIS IS CYCLING’S<br />
ORIGINAL HOME.<br />
IT’S LIKE A<br />
RELIGION HERE,<br />
AND AFTER<br />
YOU DISCOVER<br />
ITS RICH CULTURE<br />
AND HISTORY<br />
BY BIKE, YOU’LL<br />
SEE WHY.<br />
Pedaling through the quiet<br />
tree-lined roads of the heel<br />
of Italy, one is amazed<br />
at the sheer volume of<br />
centuries old olive trees<br />
lining the route. 40% of<br />
Italy’s olive oil is produced<br />
from this region and with<br />
delicious results.<br />
TRULLI<br />
Ancient Dwellings<br />
Trullo were originally<br />
temporary dwellings built<br />
without mortar. Some<br />
say this was to evade<br />
tax collection since they<br />
could be dismantled when<br />
the inspector came! Still<br />
today they are used as<br />
temporary dwellings, albeit<br />
vacation homes.<br />
PIZZA MAKING<br />
The Art of the Stone Oven<br />
Making pizza in a stone oven is a historic<br />
activity in this part of Italy. The oven first<br />
heats with olive wood fire for a full day.<br />
Then the pizza is carefully handmade<br />
from classic ingredients. No pizza stones.<br />
No fast food. This is local food at its<br />
pinnacle of perfection.<br />
