Villa Jamele (ya·MEH·leh) was mentioned in my post Peppe Zullo~Il Cuoco Contadino. Peppe’s 180,000 m² azienda agricola (agricultural estate) includes this second location acquired in 2004. Villa Jamele is a few km down the road from Orsara di Puglia, towards Troia. The property takes its name from the historic 1700’s villa of Hector Jamele, which has been reconstructed and is now home to an international cooking school and 5 guest rooms on the upper floor.
Sala Guadalajara is a large circular reception hall. There is also a glass reception room, Sala Veracruz. The photo below was taken from the roof terrace of Villa Jamele.
Dalla terra alla tavola is the philosophy at Villa Jamele. This translates to ‘Field to table’. Food does not get any fresher. In addition to producing wine and olive oil, Peppe Zullo grows most of his own vegetables here at Villa Jamele, including pomodori which are canned on site in August. 
Il Bosco dei Sapori Perduti is a biodiverse orchard which includes over 50 varieties of fruit trees and herbs. Peppe uses local, traditional products in his cooking, including wild greens and herbs such as boragine (borage), marasciuolo –a type of wild rucola found in Puglia, fiori di zucca, and wild asparagus. Behind Sala Guadalajara, past a reconstructed stone archway is a large vineyard where grapes for Peppe’s vini, Ursaria and Aliuva are grown. Read more about them in this post.
Also on the grounds is a pond and various animals, including ducks, geese, a donkey and one muddy but very photogenic maiale nero and his famiglia.
The Villa Jamele site is a tranquil oasis of green, dotted with ancient olive trees. My favourite area of Villa Jamele is the campo dei girasoli-a field of sunflowers blooming every July. 
La Scuola Internazionale di Cucina at Villa Jamele is open from September to November and February to April. Classes can be organized for 8-16 participants. To book an event, suite, destination wedding , or make a reservation at Ristorante Peppe Zullo, call or email 39 0881 964763 info@peppezullo.it

Un po' di pepe 
great post .. one day we needd to go and take some cooking classes together
Such an enjoyable post. And your mention of the wild asparagus brings back fond memories of picking wild asparagus at my uncle’s farm in Faicchio. The wild asparagus has such a lovely, delicate flavor that spoils one from ever eating the thick, woody asparagus offered here in the supermarkets. Saluti!
i know Pamela-and they are so tiny and thin and full of flavour. I’ll be enjoying some in a few weeks! Ciao, Cristina
I am jealous! Have a few bites for me! Buon appetito!
