Datterino tomato

Ideal for sauces and gravies, but also for salads

History and Origins of a Rising Star

The datterino tomato, with its elongated shape and extraordinarily sweet flavor, is a relatively “young” variety that has quickly won the hearts of chefs and cooking enthusiasts.

Although it does not have the centuries-old history of other tomato varieties, the datterino has managed to distinguish itself for its superior organoleptic qualities, the result of careful selection and an ideal cultivation environment.

In Italy, and particularly in southern regions such as Sicily and Lazio (where our organic datterino thrives), the climatic conditions and fertile soil help enhance its natural sweetness and consistency.

La organic cultivation guarantees its purity, ensuring that each fruit is free from pesticides and chemicals, offering an even more authentic tasting experience and an environmentally friendly product.

How to Cook It: Versatility and Simplicity in the Kitchen

Organic Datterino Tomato is an extraordinarily versatile ingredient, capable of elevating any dish with its sweetness and concentrated aroma:

• Raw: The Essence of Flavor. To fully enjoy its sweetness and juiciness, enjoy it raw. It is ideal in fresh salads, on bruschetta with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and basil, or simply as a healthy and satisfying snack.
• Quick Gourmet Sauces and Gravies. Its dense pulp and concentrated flavor make it perfect for quick sauces and gravies. Sauté it whole or cut in half in a pan with garlic, oil and basil for a pasta sauce ready in a few minutes, with an enveloping and sweet flavor.
• Baked Confit: A Concentration of Sweetness. Try cooking it slowly in the oven at a low temperature with aromatic herbs, garlic and a drizzle of oil. You will get delicious confit tomatoes, perfect to accompany second courses, season pizzas, or as a base for appetizers.
• In a pan with fish or white meat. It pairs beautifully with baked or pan-fried fish, and with white meats such as chicken or rabbit, releasing a delicious sweet and sour sauce during cooking.
