Datterino Giallo di Sicilia – The golden taste of the Italian sun
In Sicily, not only the well-known red tomatoes grow. The small, golden yellow datterino tomatoes have also made their place in Italian cuisine.
For Cirio Le Selezioni Vellutata Dolce Datterino Giallo di Sicilia these yellow tomatoes are processed into a smooth, semi-concentrated passata.
The name Vellutata Dolce tells you exactly what to expect: a velvety texture and a pleasantly sweet tomato flavour.
What makes yellow datterino tomatoes special?
Yellow datterino tomatoes have a distinctive golden yellow colour and a refined, naturally sweet taste.
Their character gives this passata a unique character, allowing you to prepare dishes that differ in both taste and presentation from the classic red tomato sauce.
A delicious pasta with yellow tomato sauce
Heat a splash of extra virgin olive oil with a clove of garlic. Add the yellow datterino passata and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
Mix the sauce with freshly cooked linguine or paccheri and add a few basil leaves.
For a special combination, you can add prawns, burrata, or a bit of lemon zest.
