No additives, no preservatives, no flavorings other than the natural ones of the ingredients. EVO oil isn't just a preservative, but a key ingredient that envelops the tomatoes, softens them, and enhances their flavor. A handcrafted product, ready to add character to countless dishes.

The tradition of sun drying

The custom of drying tomatoes in the sun is an ancient practice, originating in the Mediterranean to preserve the abundance of the summer harvest. It was an ingenious way to "capture the sun" and enjoy the intense flavor of tomatoes even during the winter months.

The tomatoes were cut and slowly dried until they lost most of their water, concentrating their sugars and aromas. Subsequent preservation in oil made them soft and ready to use. Radici honors this rural tradition with a pure, organic product made from just three ingredients.

Choosing Organic Sun-Dried Tomatoes Means Taking Care of Yourself

Sun-dried tomatoes are a powerhouse of nutrients. Thanks to the drying process, they retain a high content of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radicals. They are also an excellent source of fiber (7g per 100g of drained product), which is beneficial for intestinal health.

Radici's choice of organic products guarantees the absence of pesticide residues. The main ingredient, extra virgin olive oil (60%), provides "good" fats (monounsaturated) and polyphenols, valuable allies of cardiovascular health. It's an energetic yet healthy and clean condiment.
