Which handler will receive the delivery at TAR?

We are handler-agnostic at Grottaglie. Simply confirm which handler holds your aircraft and we coordinate directly with them to ensure galley-ready delivery arrives alongside your ground schedule.

Can you source fresh local Puglian produce for a same-day order?

For same-day requests we draw on our established local supplier network across the Taranto province. For menus built around specific market ingredients — Taranto mussels, freshly made burrata, or valley olive oils — we recommend ordering at least 24 hours in advance.

Do you cater crew meals as well as passenger cabins?

Yes. Crew meals are prepared to the same food-safety and temperature standards as cabin menus. We package them separately and label them clearly so turnaround on the flight deck stays efficient.

Is Kosher catering available at Grottaglie?

Kosher catering is available with a minimum of 24 hours' lead time to ensure full certification and unbroken chain of custody. Please specify the requirement at the point of first contact.

Can you cater a flight departing from a nearby airport if we reposition to Brindisi or Bari?

Our network covers BDS at Brindisi and BRI at Bari, as well as LCC at Galatina. If your aircraft repositions to any of these fields we can transfer the brief seamlessly, with no change to your point of contact.

What dietary requirements can you accommodate?

We routinely cater gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, halal, low-sodium, and allergen-specific menus. Detail your requirements when you place the order and our culinary team will build the brief accordingly.

Private jet menu for Grottaglie

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Grottaglie departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenItaly

To start

Taranto Mussel & Saffron Velouté

Chilled bisque of Mar Piccolo mussels with Puglian saffron cream, finished with a thread of local extra-virgin olive oil and toasted Altamura breadcrumb.

Cold main

Burrata con Pomodori di Puglia

Same-morning burrata from the Valle d'Itria set beside slow-dried Pugliese cherry tomatoes, Gaeta olives, and a drizzle of Coratina oil. Packed galley-ready in individual portions.

Hot main

Orecchiette con Cime di Rapa e Acciughe

Hand-rolled orecchiette tossed with bitter Puglian turnip tops, Cetara anchovy, chilli, and toasted garlic — a regional staple rebalanced for the cabin.

To start

Frisella con Ricci di Mare

Twice-baked Altamura frisella moistened with seawater, topped with fresh Taranto sea urchin roe, lemon oil, and micro fennel. A considered opener that travels without compromise.

Pâtisserie

Pasticciotto Leccese

The short-crust custard pastry of the Salento, filled with crema pasticcera and sour cherry conserva. Baked to order and sealed for freshness — equally at home at breakfast or mid-flight.

To finish

Cartellate al Vincotto

Rose-shaped fried pastry ribbons finished with aged fig vincotto and crushed pistachios — Puglia's signature sweet, portioned individually and presented in a silk-lined box.

Inflight Catering · Grottaglie

Private aviation catering at TAR

The territory around LIBG is Puglia at its most elemental — dry-stone trulli, ancient olive groves pressing oil of uncommon intensity, and fishing harbours at Taranto barely minutes away. This is a region that has fed itself extraordinarily well for millennia, and its ingredients carry that confidence into every galley we prepare. Taranto's Mar Piccolo produces some of the Mediterranean's most prized mussels, while the Valle d'Itria supplies burrata made the same morning it is served. Primitivo and Negroamaro vineyards ring the airfield, and their bottles travel as naturally onto a private jet as they do onto a family table. When you order Grottaglie private jet catering through Altitude Dining, these are the flavours that shape your menu.

Regional Catering Menu · Grottaglie

Grottaglie inflight catering

Puglia's cucina povera is, in truth, anything but poor. Orecchiette hand-rolled with cime di rapa, fave e cicorie bound with local olive oil, and cartellate dusted with vincotto represent a regional canon refined across centuries. Our kitchen translates each dish into galley-ready portions that hold their character at altitude without compromise. Seafood from the Gulf of Taranto anchors our cold and hot selections: raw ricci di mare on Altamura croutons, grilled coda di rospo with salsa verde, and cicatelli al nero di seppia each reflect the Ionian coast directly beneath your flight path. We balance these with the broader Italian pantry — Sicilian capers, Campanian San Marzano, Ligurian taggiasca — to give a cabin menu that is firmly Pugliese yet generous in range.
