The grandmother of our farmer Vincenzo from Terradiva<\/a> , Eusapia Nalli, aka \u201cNonna Titina\u201d\u00a0 is 92 years old, lives alone in Minervino Murge, and still cooks daily. One of her specialities is her soft, tasty Focaccia (Italian flatbread): no trip or Sunday is complete without it, and it’s always crispy crust.

For Eusapia, \u201cTitina\u201d, making food is something so simple, natural, almost banal… like talking or breathing. Her recipes, and her doughs, have always accompanied Vincenzo and his siblings, ever since they were children playing in front of her door. The ingredients of Eusapia\u2019s recipes are local products, she cooks with whatever comes from the land. As the daughter of farmers, she has always made do with what her father and later her husband used to bring home from the garden and fields, or what produce was exchanged between neighbours.

Vincenzo\u2019s grandmother often tells him that there must not be too many ingredients in a recipe, otherwise the dish will not be good.

Nonna Titina has been in our midst for almost a century of Terradiva\u2019<\/a>s history now, a history made up of the practices and habits of a southern Italian village, some long gone and others still present and felt.\u00a0
