HAND-PEELED CHERRY TOMATOES IN SAUCE

Perché ci credo was founded to celebrate the Mediterranean culinary tradition through authentic products made from carefully selected ingredients using simple, natural methods. Every recipe is created to bring the natural flavour of vegetables to the table, with full respect for seasonality and quality.
These peeled Pizzuto Leccese cherry tomatoes in sauce embody one of the most authentic farming traditions of the Lecce plain. Dry-farmed and harvested during the summer, they are processed entirely by hand: the smallest tomatoes with the most tender skins are briefly blanched whole, while the larger, fleshier fruits are peeled. Packed in their own sauce with a basil leaf, they are distinguished by their deep red colour, natural sweetness and pleasing texture. No added sugar or tomato concentrate.

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