PUGLIA LOVE STORY
OUR FAMILY’S HERITAGE IN IMPORTING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES SPANS GENERATIONS. AMONG THE REGIONS WE’VE EXPLORED, PUGLIA STANDS OUT, DRAWING US BACK TIME AND TIME AGAIN SINCE MY PARENTS FIRST VENTURED THERE IN THE 1980S. IT WAS IN PUGLIA THAT OUR IMPORT BUSINESS TRULY FLOURISHED, WITH APULIAN PRODUCE TAKING CENTER STAGE. OVER THE YEARS, OUR FAMILY’S CONNECTION WITH PUGLIA DEEPENED, CULMINATING IN THE ACQUISITION OF A MASSERIA IN THE AREA. OUR LOVE FOR PUGLIA EXTENDS BEYOND ITS BEAUTY AND CULINARY DELIGHTS TO INCLUDE ITS WARM-HEARTED PEOPLE AND EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY OF LIFE.
WITH A DESIRE TO SHARE OUR PASSION FOR APULIAN TRADITION OF PRODUCING QUALITY PRODUCE FULL OF TASTE , WE ESTABLISHED CIBOCCA—A BRAND COMMITTED TO BRINGING THE FLAVORS OF PUGLIA TO THE WORLD. THROUGH CIBOCCA, WE AIM TO HONOR THE AUTHENTICITY AND TRADITION OF PUGLIAN CUISINE WHILE ALSO MEETING THE DEMANDS OF DISCERNING CONSUMERS. OUR JOURNEY WITH CIBOCCA IS A TESTAMENT TO OUR DEDICATION TO PUGLIA AND OUR COMMITMENT TO BRINGING ITS CULINARY TREASURES TO A WIDER AUDIENCE.
