Ciliegini di Puglia – Small tomatoes with a great Italian story
In the sunny landscape of Puglia, the heel of the Italian boot, the small cherry tomatoes that Cirio selects for its special Le Selezioni Ciliegini di Puglia.
The combination of sun, soil, and careful cultivation results in juicy little tomatoes with a fresh, full flavour. Cirio chooses these tomatoes for their characteristic structure and natural aroma.
After harvesting, the tomatoes are carefully selected and preserved in tomato juice. This way, their recognisable shape, flavour, and juiciness are well maintained.
What makes these Italian cherry tomatoes special?
Unlike peeled tomatoes, these Ciliegini di Puglia retain their skin. As a result, the small tomatoes remain beautifully recognisable in dishes and gradually release their tasty juice during cooking.
The tomatoes are particularly suitable for dishes where you want to preserve the natural flavour and structure of whole cherry tomatoes.
Perfect for an authentic Italian pasta sauce
A delicious Italian pasta sauce does not need to simmer for hours.
Heat some extra virgin olive oil in a pan, add a lightly crushed clove of garlic, and let it gently fragrance. Add the Cirio Ciliegini di Puglia and let the tomatoes simmer gently for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Gently press some tomatoes open so that the juice mixes with the olive oil. Finish with fresh basil and mix with al dente cooked spaghetti, linguine, or paccheri.
A simple dish in which the quality of the tomatoes is fully appreciated.
More than just pasta
These Italian cherry tomatoes are also delicious with:
Pizza and focaccia: for a fresh, juicy tomato flavour.
Fish and seafood: combine with garlic, white wine and parsley.
Mediterranean casseroles: with aubergine, courgette and mozzarella.
Bruschetta: briefly heat the tomatoes with olive oil and basil.
Italian risotto: for a soft tomato flavour and a colourful presentation.
