The Pomodorino del 'Piennolo' del Vesuvio D.O.P. tomato has an ancient and fascinating history that goes back centuries. The cultivation of this tomato has been handed down from generation to generation, thanks to the passion and dedication of the farmers of Vesuvius. It is said that the name 'Piennolo' comes from the Neapolitan word of the same name, which means 'pendulum'; in fact the tomatoes are tied with a string and preserved by hanging. This method of preservation, which involves hanging the tomatoes in a cool, well-ventilated place, extends their shelf life by up to several months.
Pomodorino del 'Piennolo' del Vesuvio D.O.P. is a valuable and high quality product, protected by the Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.). This designation certifies that the tomato has been grown and harvested in a specific geographical area, the Vesuvius area. The P.D.O. is therefore an important tool for protecting and enhancing this cultural and gastronomic heritage of Campania, guaranteeing the quality of the product and safeguarding the tradition of its cultivation. Thanks to the PDO, the Vesuvius 'Piennolo' tomato can be recognised and appreciated nationally and internationally, thus contributing to the promotion of the region's culture and economy.
Pomodorino del 'Piennolo' del Vesuvio is characterised by an intense and persistent flavour, which makes it an ideal ingredient for the preparation of traditional Campanian dishes such as pasta with tomato sauce and margherita pizza. Its firm texture and dense, aromatic flesh also make it an excellent base for strong sauces and gravies.
