Piennolo cherry tomato from Vesuvio DOP: how much history there is around this incredible cherry tomato. Think that its color is so vivid and red that it's also called burning... some add a bit of poetry and say that burning comes from the fact that the roots feed on the lava of Vesuvio. The Piennolo then has this name because the bunches of cherry tomatoes are hung on pendulums (piennoli) and left to dry naturally to the fresh and salty breezes of the Tyrrhenian sea. The sun, the wind, the sea, the fiery land are the secrets of this extraordinary fruit rich in sugars and minerals, sweet and tangy, with a dense and full pulp, with few seeds and two lenticular bundles that divide it in half. It is the king of kings of tomatoes and the ideal for the best tomato pastas. They are used fresh, partially dried, in puree, or in packets with salt. It has a round shape when fresh and features a little beard at the bottom. The skin is particularly thick and hard and thus resistant to dehydration during drying on hemp wires. In this puree you will find only Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP, fresh basil, and sea salt.
