VERSUVIO POMODORO TOMATOES
Versuvio Pomodoro Tomatoes
Origin: Italy
These fresh pomodoro tomatoes are cultivated on the fertile volcanic slopes of Mount Vesuvius, where the mineral-rich soil and Mediterranean climate create tomatoes with concentrated flavour and natural sweetness. Hand-picked at peak ripeness and delivered fresh.
The volcanic terroir creates a distinctive depth of flavour with naturally low acidity and concentrated sweetness. These green and red tomatoes may arrive with scarred and cracked surfaces, which are purely superficial marks characteristic of this variety, considered one of the world's finest tomato types. Best eaten with good olive oil, fresh basil and freshly cracked sea salt on toasted sourdough or ciabatta. For optimal flavour, allow any firmer tomatoes to ripen further in the sunshine before use. Perfect for pasta sauces, slow-cooked ragùs, bruschetta or as the base for minestrone and Mediterranean stews.
Producer: Sourced from family-run farms on the slopes of Vesuvius, where growers have cultivated these tomatoes using traditional techniques and sustainable farming practices for generations.
Wine pairing: Sliced Vesuvius on ciabatta with olive oil and fresh basil pairs well with our Sardinian Cantina Mesa Vermentino - a perfect lunchtime white wine that is fresh, fruity, and savoury, with notes reminiscent of the salty island breeze.
