Have you ever been to Felline? No? Well, you have to visit! It is a small medieval town in Salento.

One of those places you go because of a friends recommendation. It is hot in summer, but there is a cool breeze that comes from the sea and in winter the weather is nice, even in the evening. People are friendly and you can chat with anyone.

This is why Francesco goes to town often. Then, one day, he went into a pastry shop and met Flavio. And from there, everything changed. Their friendship grew as they spoke with one another. “I like making cookies”, says Flavio. “Cookies?!?” He passes him one. Francesco puts it in his mouth and almost dies. Never has he tasted anything better. And with that, the creative laboratory for the pastry and biscuit shop was born.

Although, to tell the truth, the idea for a name did not come immediately, because a very special one was needed. One day, Francesco was in London. He walked aimlessly between markets, pubs and record shops in the more underground part of the city. And suddenly, bang! The Biscoteca!

The rest came naturally. Why, making delicious cookies is simple. Tradition and simple ingredients are enough. Simple, but of quality.

And there is as much tradition in Salento as you want. Just talk with the old lady at the end of the street or with the farmer outside of the village. Everyone has something to teach you. That’s enough, just look around and take it all in.
