“Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP - fresh cherry tomatoes
The tomatoes are grown in an area within the National Park of Vesuvius. There are mainly sandy and volcanic soils that are poor in water and nitrogen but rich in potassium. The area lies at 150-450 meters above sea level, so there are strong temperature fluctuations between day and night here. This is why the tomatoes get a slightly thicker shell and they are very resistant. Therefore the tomatoes can be stored for longer times and are ideal to be preserved.
The cultivation begins with the sowing in seedbed in February. The cuttings are set between March-April on the field by hand.
Subsequently, the tomato plants are cut, tied and the earth is weeded. Everything is done exclusively by hand, since the cultivation techniques and even the ground allow only this kind of cultivation.
Therefore, the yield is relatively low at 100/120 quintals per hectare. However, this is also the reason why the taste is better.
The tomatoes thus obtained have a distinctive shape, an intense red color and a characteristic peak, which is very thick and crunchy on the lower part of the shell.
The flavor is sweet / sour with a bitter aftertaste. So this tomato is particularly suitable for the Neapolitan cuisine.
Ideal also fresh in salads or for making pasta dishes.
