Così Com'è Datterino Rosso in Succo – The authentic taste of Campania
Some ingredients hardly need anything to be special. A ripe Italian tomato, a splash of good olive oil and some fresh basil are often enough for a delicious dish.
With Così Com'è Datterino Rosso Intero in Succo 350 g you discover the natural taste of whole red datterino tomatoes, sourced from the Piana del Sele in Southern Italy.
What are red datterino tomatoes?
The datterino is a small, elongated variety of tomato. The name refers to its resemblance to a date, dattero in Italian.
Red datterino tomatoes are known for their juicy flesh, rich flavour and pleasant natural sweetness.
They are particularly suitable for Italian dishes where the tomato itself is the star.
From the Piana del Sele in Campania
The Piana del Sele is located in the province of Salerno, in the region of Campania.
This fertile agricultural area provides excellent conditions for growing tomatoes.
Finagricola, the producer behind Così Com'è, specialises in high-quality Italian tomato specialities. The tomatoes are carefully selected and processed with attention to their natural properties.
Whole tomatoes in their juice
These red datterino tomatoes are unpeeled. They retain their skin and are packed whole in tomato juice.
During cooking, you can leave the tomatoes whole or gently crush them. This way, you determine how much texture you want in your sauce.
The tomato juice forms a tasty base and does not need to be thrown away.
The difference with yellow datterino tomatoes
The red datterino has a full, classic tomato flavour with a pleasant balance between sweetness and freshness.
The yellow datterino usually has a softer, distinctly sweet flavour profile and gives dishes a striking golden yellow colour.
Both varieties are delicious, but each offers its own character in Italian cuisine.
A simple recipe: Spaghetti with red datterino tomatoes

Add a lightly crushed clove of garlic and let it gently fragrance.
Add the red datterino tomatoes with their juice to the pan. Gently crush a few tomatoes and let the sauce simmer gently for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Mix with al dente cooked spaghetti and add fresh basil.
Finish with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano if desired.
