Velvety Sweet Datterino from Sicily – Sicilian tomatoes at their sweetest
In the sunny landscape of Sicily, the small, elongated datterino tomatoes grow, loved for their characteristic sweetness and intense flavour.
For Cirio Le Selezioni Velvety Sweet Datterino from Sicily carefully selected red datterino tomatoes are processed into a particularly smooth, concentrated tomato passata.
The result is a soft, velvety tomato base that brings the taste of Sicily directly to your Italian kitchen.
What makes this Sicilian passata special?
The name Velvety refers to the velvety texture of the product. Sweet means sweet and refers to the natural sweetness of the Sicilian datterino tomatoes.
This type of tomato stands out for its full flavour, pleasant sweetness, and refined aroma.
By processing the tomatoes into a smooth, semi-concentrated passata, a rich tomato base is created that is excellent for both simple and refined dishes.
No sugars are added: the sweetness comes entirely from the tomatoes themselves.
The secret of a delicious Sicilian pasta sauce
In Sicily, a good tomato sauce revolves around the quality of the ingredients.
Heat a splash of extra virgin olive oil in a pan. Add a lightly crushed clove of garlic and let it gently fragrance.
Pour in the Cirio Vellutata Dolce Datterino di Sicilia and add a small splash of water if necessary. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
Finish with fresh basil and mix with al dente cooked spaghetti, paccheri or rigatoni.
A simple dish in which the natural sweetness of Sicilian tomatoes is fully expressed.
