Gastronomiepugliesi.it was born from the desire to expand the distribution of the delicacies marketed in the “Il Mulino Gastronomia” shop, thus making them available throughout the Italian territory.
We are in Castellana Grotte, a small village in the south-east of Bari, where this reality came to life in 1992 by Cosimo Panettieri and his wife Anna. Motivated by their great passion for good food, its culture and the tradition that bind them to their territory, the two have managed to transform a small grocery shop into a real gastronomic boutique over the years.
From the very first years of his work, Cosimo decided to select only high quality products for his loyal customers, chasing authentic and genuine flavours. Continuously searching for excellence in cured meats, cheeses or tasty pantry products, making his items always unique.
The Panettieri family, dedicated to constant work, has not stopped studying specialties and refined items from all over Italy over the years, always having customer satisfaction as their objective.
And it is precisely for this reason that he creates a small taste laboratory in his shop, expanding his offer with very fresh products made by the expert hands of his wife Anna. This way anyone who enters can immerse themselves in unique culinary experiences. The result was welcomed with great enthusiasm by the refined palates who come to gastronomy every day. The Apulian tradition comes to life in every ready dish and in every baked product with an authentic flavour. Each product created is characterized by the choice of exclusively local raw materials and studied according to recipes handed down by the irreplaceable Nonna Lella, a very important figure for the success of this activity. A woman with inexhaustible sources of energy and a constant presence on this family-run journey.
The value of family emerges here, another important component, which pushes Cosimo to accept the first proposals for buffet preparations for small ceremonies. Feeling enthusiastic and satisfied in being able to bring his excellent products to the tables of Castellano families on their special days.
From that moment on, starting from the 2000s, he also began to offer catering and buffet services, personally taking care of renting the equipment, setting up the tables and arranging the decorations.
Each shipment of orders received starts from the store’s warehouse, which has been optimized and organized to ensure absolute efficiency of the service, without neglecting attention to detail.
