DATTERINI TOMATOES 500g±

Origin: Italy

Season: April - October

These exquisite yellow Datterini tomatoes are cultivated by dedicated growers who specialise in this prized Italian variety. Originating from southern Italy, these heritage cherry tomatoes offer a distinct sweetness and delicate flavour that sets them apart from ordinary cherry tomato varieties.

Exceptionally sweet with a perfect balance of natural sugars and gentle acidity, these yellow Datterini tomatoes deliver an authentic Mediterranean taste experience. Their bright golden-yellow colour, elegant oval shape, and firm yet tender skin make them as visually appealing as they are delicious—a testament to traditional Italian growing methods.

The Datterini variety, meaning "little dates" in Italian, is renowned for its remarkable sweetness and concentrated flavour. These small, elongated tomatoes are prized by Italian chefs for their intense taste, firm texture, and exceptional keeping qualities. Their naturally high sugar content and low acidity create a beautifully balanced flavour profile, whilst their robust skin ensures they maintain their shape during cooking.

Serve these tomatoes simply in a Caprese salad with fresh mozzarella and basil, or enjoy them as an elegant antipasto with a drizzle of good olive oil and sea salt. They're perfect for pasta dishes, adding bursts of sweetness to aglio e olio or puttanesca. For a warming preparation, roast them gently to concentrate their natural sugars, creating an intensely flavoured accompaniment to grilled fish or meat. Their firm texture also makes them ideal for preserving or slow-cooking into rich, golden sauces.

Producer: Grown using traditional Mediterranean methods that prioritise flavour development and natural ripening. The growers employ sustainable practices including careful water management, natural pest control, and soil enrichment techniques—ensuring tomatoes of exceptional quality and authentic Italian character.
