description
Among the specialties that Puglia offers are the Bocconotti! They are very good typical cakes not only of the Apulian tradition, but also Lucan, Abruzzese and Calabrese, whose filling varies according to the locations in which it is produced; today the traditional recipe is handed down from family to family, with many variations. These are filled with jam! :)
