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 little poetry and say that burning comes from the fact that the roots feed on the lava of Vesuvius. The Piennolo gets its name because the clusters of tomatoes are hung on pendulums (piennoli) and left to dry naturally in the fresh 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 acidic, with a dense and full pulp, with few seeds and two lenticular bundles that split it in half. It is the king of kings of tomatoes and ideal for the best tomato pasta dishes. They are used as is, partially dried, in puree, or in salting bags. It has a round shape when fresh and features a small tip at the bottom. The skin is particularly thick and hard, making it resistant to the dehydration action during drying on hemp threads. In this puree, you will find only Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP, fresh basil, and sea salt.
