Assoluto – Peeled Tomatoes

Italianavera – Assoluto – Peeled Tomatoes

Assoluto Peeled Tomatoes from Italianavera are whole, hand-peeled tomatoes in a jar, grown on the fertile volcanic soils at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. This ancient tomato variety is biologically related to the well-known San Marzano. It is also characterized by its pleasantly firm flesh and its intense, full-bodied aroma. Harvested ripe by hand, the tomatoes are processed immediately after harvesting, hand-peeled – truly Pomodoro Pelato. Preserved in lightly salted water, the aromas in the jar are perfectly conserved for a long time, lending expression, character, and a true, balanced tomato flavor to your dishes.

Assoluto tomatoes are not only suitable as a pasta sauce or as a base for tomato soup; you can also use Pomodoro Pelato to make tomato risotto, prepare shakshuka, braise caponata or Provencal vegetables, add them to goulash or roulades, or use them to fill cannelloni or lasagna. You can also use them raw, like fresh tomatoes.

True tomato!

In San Marzano Sul Sarno, not far from Naples, between the lightness of the Amalfi Coast to the west and the energetic volcano Vesuvius, is not only the home of the best tomatoes but also of Italy's most attractive sauce maker: Diana Attianese. As a child, she learned everything there is to know about tomatoes from her mother and aunt, who in the summer, during the early, cooler morning hours, stewed the freshly picked, ripe tomatoes into sugo: how the different varieties taste, how they smell when ripe, which tomatoes are best suited for sauces, and which are peeled and preserved whole. Because even if the old varieties are not suitable for transport due to their sensitivity, they can be wonderfully preserved in glass and cans without losing their fresh taste and intense aroma.
