Even today, we use the centuries old traditional process of sun-drying to maintain the excellent quality of our dried tomatoes. This makes the intense taste and flavour of our sun-dried tomatoes very unique.
This tomato sauce is obtained by Sicilian tomato varieties. We use an ecotype of San Marzano tomato selected and grown in Sicily and Datterino tomato recognized for its sweetness and density which enriches our sauce.
The San Marzano tomatoes are grown in open field and harvested when they have reached the right degree of ripeness.The secret of tastiness is the earth and the sun which with their unique characteristics of an uncontaminated territory are able to create an inimitable quality. The tomatoes are washed, blanched, peeled by hand, cut in half and deprived of seeds then canned.
The sun-dried tomato cream belongs to the popular traditions of South Italy. The harvested tomatoes are cut in half, stretched out on wooden boards and salted. Afterwards they are placed under the summer sun, in a few days they get dried and then they are stored in baskets in the dark. Subsequently they are desalted by blanching, once they have reached the right degree of salt they are shredded into a cream seasoned with the Mediterranean aromas and extra virgin olive oil.
