Eggplant fillets “alla contadina”

Rustic Eggplant Strips

Traditional, Authentic Flavour

Our rustic eggplant strips in oil are inspired by a childhood memory: the aroma of homemade preserves, when our grandmother would open her jars prepared during the summer and serve them on a slice of wheat bread. Today, that flavour lives on, carefully preserved in our jars.

We grow our eggplants in Salento, where they are hand-picked between August and September. The preparation faithfully follows traditional methods: each eggplant is selected, washed, peeled and cut into thin strips entirely by hand.

Just as our grandmothers taught us, we leave them to drain under salt – “allu carcu” – to naturally remove their bitterness. Finally, we season them with fresh mint and capers and preserve them in oil, with no artificial preservatives.

Perfect for gourmet sandwiches and bruschetta, or for adding flavour to appetisers and cold dishes: even a quick dinner can become a journey through the authentic flavours of Puglian tradition.
