I am not even done watching, but I already like it. 😊

awesome. Anything fried is good, but panzerotti are amazing. They are not hip anymore like they were in my youth. I don't think I have ever seen pure veggie-filled ones. Must be because the mezzogiorno was very poor. That olive oil looks amazing!
💐🙏
It's so beautiful that these people make a lot of items themselves: olive oil, passata, wine, flower, you name it. Perfetto ! And it all looks so tasty !
8:48 the usual italian quantity for a family of five! 😀
It's always a delight to see people growing their own produce. And I can't ait for next week's episode, I love zucchini.
Very nice! ❤️💚❤️💚❤️🇦🇺
Grazie Irine, Domenico, Vittoria e Iriana per questi panzerotti. In today's, world Vicky it is rare to see farmers raising ALL the food they eat, especially flour, wine and olive oil, following their fruits and vegetables and cattle. Making their own bread, pasta and so on. THANK-YOU again Vicky for another recipe and views of beautiful Italia. Arrivederci 🙏🙏🙏💖🥰😋😋😋😋🇮🇹
Mmmm yummy and thank you for sharing and can't wait to see what's in store on Monday 🎉
That's similar to the Spanish empanadillas, although ours can also be baked. But these look yummy!
Peccato the new generation have abandoned their land!
I'm sort of charmed Vittoria can't imagine somewhere where even cheap much-adulterated olive oil is too precious a resource to deep-fry pasties in. I hope all that tend the vines and harvest the tomatoes around there are as well-fed as this farm family.
Panzerotti is my favorite food ❤ Here in Puglia we can’t live without them 😂

Beautiful family. And as the eldest sister/eldest child in my family, I appreciated how carefully Vittoria watched it all. And let her little sister do her thing. Thank you, Pasta Grannies!
Glorious video. We were in Puglia two years ago, and this video takes us right back there. Heavenly. Two young people prepared fresh panzerotti for us from a little street-side shop in Ostuni. We enjoyed them with gin cocktails. We'll never forget it. Now I'm praying you have found a chef who will prepare Spaghetti Al Assasina, the legendary specialty of Bari! That dish knocked us out twice during our vacation. Unique.
wow!!! How amazing! to think the ancestors planted those olive trees 300 years ago! 🌳❣What a treasure!
And they not only grow tomatoes and veggies, but also wheat!!! And produce wine! 👏Fantastic!❤
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing life (and delicious recipe) with us!❤
I wonder if the olive tree which I planted a decade ago will also be here in 300 years…
Looks very delicious! I wish i could try one.. or ten
It's wonderful to see home grown ingredient in their pastries. What a beautiful sight. 🫒🧅🧀
Domenico’s smile when he bit into his onion panzarotti told the whole story! What a proud and industrious family…more of us should try to live like our parents! TFS, Sharon🤗❤️🍝
I keep watching the sister waiting at the table in black.. she's never been so bored in her life😂
“they grow their own wheat, so this is their flour” was not expecting that twist… mine are definitely not going to taste as good 😆Thank you Ladies, for this beautiful video 🙏
Those look as good as they probably taste, my mouth was watering. It must be nice to have your own olive trees and make your own oil. She says it's important to fry them in olive oil but, no offence, for the rest of us that would mean frying those things in about $35 in oil to get the job done! Not realistic for us non-farmers.
my grampap Pietro Laera was born and raised in Alberobello before coming to the US. I am pretty sure we still have relatives there. I visited in 1981 with some of them that had olives and rabbits. My memory was we played with the rabbits then went to inspect the orchard before dinner. And my aunt/cousin Peppina (wasn't sure which) was proud to roll out her television to keep us all company during the dinner (maybe to distract me from the main course – rabbit.) They spoke a unique dialect which my uncle had some trouble figuring out.
Pasta grannies is my safe space. A great comfort to my soul.
Hmm pastel
Mmmmm voglio provare quelli! (anche vivo il loro vita nella campagna)
TÜRKÇE ALT YAZI LÜTFEN🇹🇷👋
Looks so delicious, we have similar Cornish pasties in the U.K. That amount of olive oil she used is about £20+ worth here now!

And the wine! All from their farm and vineyard. These panzerotti are as gorgeous as this family and their farm. It heartens me to see their granddaughter joining in. May this family continue making them for their family! Thanks for another heartening episode !
👍 Great 😍 🤗 💕
Outdoor kitchen. Oh I only wish.
And to live and cook in Italy.
Yeah I would definitely die happy
Wspaniały program
Looks delicious
I don’t know about adding capers
Such a gem 😊 your video, the family, the food. All the work that’s put into getting such a unique product. What is the name of their small place to rent? I would love to visit their beautiful area 😊
