HAND-PEELED CHERRY TOMATOES IN TOMATO SAUCE

Perché Ci Credo was founded with the aim of celebrating Mediterranean culinary tradition through authentic products made with carefully selected ingredients and simple, traditional processing methods. Each recipe is designed to bring the natural flavour of vegetables to the table, with full respect for seasonality and quality.
Peeled Pizzuto Leccese tomatoes in sauce embody one of the most authentic farming traditions of the Lecce plain. Grown under dry-farming conditions, they are harvested during summer and processed by hand: the smaller, tender-skinned tomatoes are blanched whole, while the larger, fleshier ones are peeled. Packed in their own sauce with a basil leaf, they stand out for their deep red colour, natural sweetness and pleasing texture. No added sugars or tomato concentrate.

Ingredients
Pizzuto Leccese cherry tomatoes (76.44%), tomato sauce (22.93%), basil, salt.

Perfect pairing
Italiamy recommends using Pizzuto Leccese tomatoes to dress orecchiette, finishing the dish with Apulian cacioricotta cheese, fresh basil and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. The natural sweetness of the tomatoes meets the savoury flavour of the cheese, creating a simple pasta dish full of Mediterranean character.
