Our Story
It’s summertime in London and the weather’s been rubbish for weeks.
“I just want to live somewhere we can eat breakfast outside in the sunshine”, I complained.
Fast forward two years and we’d bought a tumbledown farmhouse in the south of Italy. Four years later, after living on one salary and saving the other to pay for the renovations, we moved there with a two-year old and a six-month old baby and launched Rustic Puglia. Our third child was born in Puglia and they all went to the local school learning to speak Italian easilty and fluently. After 13 years we now live between the UK and Italy, selling our amazing olive oil at local produce markets and enjoying the best of both worlds.
