Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP cherry tomato: there is so much history behind this incredible cherry tomato. Its color is so vivid and red that it is also called fiery. Some add a bit of poetry and say that fiery comes from the fact that the roots feed on the lava of Vesuvius. The Piennolo is named because the clusters of cherry tomatoes are hung on pendulums (piennoli) and left to dry naturally in the cool and salty breezes of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The sun, wind, sea, and fiery earth are the secrets of this extraordinary fruit rich in sugars and minerals, sweet and tangy, with dense and full pulp, few seeds, and two lenticular bundles dividing it in half.
