Taralli with celline olives. Handmade product baked in a wood oven.
According to a legend, in the 15th century, the tarallo was created by a mother during a period of great famine. To feed his children, he used the essential ingredients that were available: flour, olive oil, salt and white wine. He prepared a dough, shaped it into thin ring strips and baked it in the oven after leavening. Thus, according to this story, the original recipe of Apulian taralli was born, the result of necessity and ingenuity to feed two children in difficult times.
While remaining in the field of legend, fascinating but not verified, it is unquestionable that taralli have become a symbol of simple and genuine cuisine of Puglia. Starting from the "heel of Italy", they have conquered the palate of people all over the world.
Calemone, inspired by this tradition, has decided to make its taralli using raw materials of own production, mainly hard and soft wheat. This is how the Taralli di Calemone were born, enriched with authentic flavors such as the Pomodoro Fiaschetto semi-dry of Torre Guaceto, the Celline Olives and the Diavulicchio of Carovigno, handcrafted and baked in a wood oven.

Calemone’s story is intimately entwined with that of the place it was born: the Natural Reserve of Torre Guaceto, an unspoiled paradise, where century-old olive groves alternate with cereal and vegetable crops, a land so marvellous, it cannot but yield exquisite fruit to those who can appreciate quality and authenticity.
It is from passions for this land, and lessons learnt from their fathers, that the idea of enhancing the territory’s historic crops was born. This is what started “Calemone”, a distinctive brand of products such as extra-virgin olive oil from “monumental” olive trees (trees that have been alive for hundreds, if not for thousands of years) and “Fiaschetto di Torre Guaceto” tomatoes from organic farming. Territory, passion, and absolute dedication are behind every Calemone product.
Every phase, from production to processing to packaging is entirely made in Puglia, giving clients an essential guarantee of a product that is excellent and truly Apulian.
The company and their “Fiaschetto di Torre Guaceto” tomatoes have also appeared in the program GEO by Rai, the Italian state broadcaster:
