Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP: how much history surrounds this incredible tomato. Think that its color is so vivid and red that they also call it burning... some add a bit of poetry and say that burning comes from the fact that the roots feed on the lava of Vesuvius. The Piennolo then gets its name because the clusters of tomatoes are hung on pendants (piennoli) and left to dry naturally in the cool and salty breezes of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The sun, the wind, the sea, and the fiery land are the secrets of this extraordinary fruit rich in sugars and minerals, sweet and tangy, with a dense and full pulp, with few seeds and two lenticular bundles that divide it in half.
