Overview

Discover Salento cuisine inside an authentic traditional masseria near Lecce.
This experience combines local food culture with direct participation: you’ll prepare the dough, shape your own frisa and take part in preparing traditional and creative local dishes alongside the hosts.
You’ll also learn about the history of frisa, the ingredients used in Salento cuisine and the traditional production method, including the long leavening and double-baking process that gives frisa its distinctive texture.
After cooking, continue the experience around the table with dedicated service and enjoy the dishes prepared during the class in more generous portions, together with fresh seasonal fruit, water and a glass of Masseria Stali wine.
It is a complete experience that takes you from ingredients and preparation to the pleasure of sharing the finished dishes in the relaxed atmosphere of the Salento countryside.
Rooted in certified organic farming, sustainability, and true farm-to-table values.

What to expect

Join a hands-on cooking experience at Masseria Stali, a traditional farm in the countryside near Lecce, and discover one of Salento’s most iconic foods: frisa.
Begin with an introduction to the masseria, its rural traditions and locally grown ingredients. Then step into the kitchen and take an active role: prepare the dough, shape your own traditional frisa, work with fresh ingredients and help create a menu inspired by Salento cuisine.
Traditional frisa requires long leavening and two separate baking stages over approximately 24–48 hours, so the final baking cycle cannot be completed during the three-hour class. Your hosts will explain every stage and show frisa prepared earlier, so you can understand the full process from fresh dough to the finished double-baked product.
After cooking, sit down for a dedicated table service and enjoy the dishes prepared during the experience, accompanied by fresh seasonal fruit, water and a glass of Masseria Stali wine.
A complete introduction to Salento food culture, combining practical participation, local ingredients and traditional knowledge.
