Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP is a small tomato with an intense, concentrated flavor, preserved in clusters ("piennoli") hung from the balconies and cellars of homes in the Vesuvius region. This natural preservation technique, passed down through generations, allows you to enjoy fresh tomatoes throughout the winter.
Cultivated on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius between 150 and 450 meters in elevation, the mineral-rich volcanic soil gives these small tomatoes a unique taste, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The thick, resistant skin promotes long-lasting preservation.
The hanging piennoli are a symbol of the Neapolitan landscape, recognizable by the clusters adorning facades and pergolas. In the kitchen, Pomodorino del Piennolo is perfect for pizza, baked pasta dishes, and preserves.
