Packages of Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP Cherry Tomatoes - 950 g.

The Pacchetelle di Pomodorini del Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP represent the most authentic soul of the Vesuvian agricultural tradition. These are cherry tomatoes grown on the volcanic soil on the slopes of Vesuvius and processed according to an ancient and wise peasant technique: the “pacchetella”. This process involves cutting the tomatoes into wedges and preserving them in their own juice, maintaining the consistency and fragrance of the fresh fruit unaltered. ​ The Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio is a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), witness to a history that has its roots in the soul of the Vesuvian towns, where even today it is grown with methods that respect natural rhythms and knowledge handed down from generation to generation. The name “piennolo” derives from the ancient custom of farmers to tie bunches of tomatoes and hang them (“piennoli”) to preserve them during the winter, transforming a peasant necessity into a true art of refining flavors. ​ It is said that, in the 19th century, cherry tomatoes were hung outside the houses of the Vesuvian villages as if they were lucky charms, to protect the crops and the domestic hearths. This symbolic and emotional bond is what gives the Pomodorini del Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP an aura of magic and legend, making them today a sought-after and beloved ingredient in haute cuisine. ​ Our Pacchetelle, kept in a 950 g glass jar, enclose the generosity and minerality of volcanic soils and transmit their sweet and slightly acidic intensity to the palate, with a firm and pleasantly meaty consistency. An excellent product, ideal for enhancing pasta dishes, gourmet pizzas and recipes from the most authentic Mediterranean cuisine. ​ Magno 1973 guarantees the selection of the best Pomodorini del Piennolo DOP and a production process that fully respects artisanal methods, to bring to your table a piece of history and terroir that is unique in the world.
