The story

About the dish

Octopus, potatoes, grape tomatoes, and olives form the flavor foundation of Tiella di Gaeta con Polpo, Olive, Pomodorini e Peperoncino. The documented 48-hour leavening develops the dough’s aroma and structure in the dish. It lets octopus bring sweet brininess and maritime savor; potatoes bring gentle natural sweetness; grape tomatoes bring bright fruit and lively acidity.

It belongs to Gaeta’s meeting of maritime and farming traditions. Italia.it describes the local tiella as a focaccia-like specialty filled with octopus, vegetables or other savory ingredients—a practical pastry that brings sea and land together in one slice.
