Dried Cherry Tomatoes

Dried Cherry Tomatoes are the result of artisanal processing rooted in the peasant culture of Salento, where the warm and generous sun is the protagonist in the drying process. This traditional technique makes it possible to preserve and amplify the authentic flavor of the tomatoes, transforming them into a product rich in intense aromas and strong flavor.

Careful selection of small, sweet cherry tomatoes is the first step in ensuring quality excellence. Next, the tomatoes are placed in the sun for natural drying, which removes excess water while keeping the typical sugars and flavors intact. This ancient method, handed down from generation to generation, makes it possible to obtain sun-dried tomatoes with a soft but firm texture, ideal for enriching numerous culinary preparations. The recipe for sun-dried tomatoes is simple but requires patience and care to keep the organoleptic properties intact and ensure a natural, preservative-free product.

Dried cherry tomatoes are a valuable ingredient to use in the kitchen to give a Mediterranean touch to simple or elaborate dishes. They are perfect for flavoring salads, enriching sauces and dressings, or for incorporation into pasta recipes, where their intense flavor marries beautifully with herbs and extra virgin olive oil. They can also be paired with cheeses, meats or fish, giving them a unique and authentic character.
