The cherry tomato is the tomato as nature intended it. The wild progenitor of all varieties, the Solanum lycopersicum there. cerasiform, grew wild along the coasts of Peru and Ecuador, producing small, cherry-like fruits, both sweet and tart. It was from there that Mesoamerican growers selected the larger fruits over the millennia. When tomatoes arrived in the Mediterranean, it was precisely the small varieties that first conquered southern Italy: they were drought-resistant, ripened in clusters, and, crucially, could be stored.

Thus the tradition of the Vesuvius was born on the slopes of Vesuvius. piennolo: bunches of cherry tomatoes woven together and hung from the beams of peasant houses, where they remained fresh until winter, consumed one tomato at a time. And in Campania, at the beginning of the twentieth century, in the countryside between Nocera and San Marzano, the peeled: the blanched, peeled, and canned tomato, the first Italian product to follow emigrants overseas and bring Sunday sauce to the kitchens of New York and Buenos Aires. The peeled cherry tomatoes of Cerqueto combine these two stories—the small fruit and the whole preserve—with the Tuscan tomato.
