Tomatoes
Italy is famous for its wide variety of tomatoes such as Cherry Tomatoes, Datterini Tomatoes, Plum Tomatoes (Roma variety) and Round Tomatoes used for diced and tomato paste.
These varieties of tomatoes are ideally used for sauces as they contain less seeds with a thick skin making them easy to peel.
Cultivated in many regions in Italy, Apulia, Campania, Tuscany, Sicily and Emilia Romagna.
Tomatoes contain anti-inflammatory nutrients, a large content of antioxidants, lycopene and many other values that help reduce the risk of heart disease. The deep red colour in tomatoes is also associated to the Lycopene, which is a carotenoid pigment and it is widely known for its outstanding antioxidant content.
In Italy the tomato was given the name Pomo d’oro (golden apple) by the Italian botanist Dottore Mattioli when during the sixteenth century tomatoes were first introduced into Europe. Highly versatile in cooking and used for preparing sauces, condiments, soups and many other recipes
Amongst all the varieties of tomatoes the most famous one is the San Marzano DOP cultivated in the heart of Italy in specific areas with rich fertile volcanic soils at the very base of Mount Vesuvius.
Their unique sweet flavour, low acidity and deep red colour is what makes the San Marzano tomato stand out from all the rest in its range.
