Nolano Pacchetelle di Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio D.O.P.

Grown on the sun-drenched slopes of Mount Vesuvius, Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP is one of Italy’s most distinctive heirloom tomatoes, prized for its bold sweetness, vibrant acidity, and rich, meaty texture. Unlike other Italian tomatoes, Piennolo tomatoes are sliced in half and preserved with their skins intact, maintaining their intense flavor and velvety texture.

These sweet yet pleasantly tart tomatoes are incredibly versatile, requiring minimal cooking and seasoning to shine. A quick sauté with olive oil and garlic creates a perfect sauce for spaghetti, while their deep, concentrated flavor makes them an exceptional topping for Neapolitan pizza, bruschetta, and fresh Mediterranean dishes.

Why Choose Pacchetelle di Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP?

• Unmatched Sweetness & Complexity – A perfect balance of natural sugars and tangy acidity, with a rich, meaty pulp.
• Minimal Cooking Required – Their intense flavor stands out with just a light sauté, making them ideal for quick, authentic Italian dishes.
• Authentic Neapolitan Tradition – One of the few tomatoes approved by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana for true Neapolitan pizza.

How to Use Piennolo Tomatoes

• Toss them with pasta – Heat gently with olive oil and garlic for a simple yet unforgettable sauce.
• Top your pizza – Their natural sweetness and acidity elevate any homemade pizza.
• Enjoy them fresh – Crush them over bruschetta, mix them into Pesto Trapanese, or eat them straight from the jar with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and sea salt.

Traditionally known as "hanging tomatoes" (Piennolo), these rare tomatoes have been preserved for generations by hanging them in clusters, allowing the salty Mediterranean breeze to act as a natural preservative. Their thick skins protect the delicate pulp, allowing them to maintain their semi-fresh state for months - a unique trait that sets them apart from all other tomatoes in the world.
