In the city of Ostuni, in the province of Brindisi, in Italy's Apulia region

 “At first glance, the main display case at Dicecca today looks like a selection you'll find in any cheese shop in Puglia: tubs of milky water covering hunks of mozzarella in its many guises; strings of swollen scamorze dangling from the ceiling, bronzed by their stopover in the cold smoker; small plastic containers of creamy ricotta ready to be stuffed or eaten straight with a spoon.” ― Matt Goulding

=====================================

(in the province of Brindisi, in Italy's Apulia region) Ostuni is one of Puglia’s most beautiful cities, a tumble of white-washed buildings perched strategically atop a hill with views of the endless olive trees in the Valle d’Itria countryside, and the glimmering Adriatic Sea just eight kilometers (5 mi.) away, home to some of the region’s most exclusive resorts. Often called the White City, due to its many white-washed houses, it is also known for its labyrinthine streets, cathedral, and ancient defensive walls. Shining like a pearly white tiara, Ostuni extends across three hills with the magnificent gem of a cathedral as its sparkling centerpiece. It's the end of the trulli region and the beginning of the hot, dry Salento. With some excellent restaurants, stylish bars, and great places to stay, it has become quite a popular summer destination.
