I Contadini Pomodori Lunghi

The red, fleshy flesh of the long tomatoes grown in Apulia and harvested by hand in midsummer retains all its flavour and organoleptic properties thanks to natural drying on outdoor frames. Here our tomatoes stay for 4-5 days, under the sun, after being cut and salted by hand one by one.

The time gives the measure of the patient work that each jar requires: it takes 130 hours of processing and 10 kg of fresh product to obtain 1 kg of sun-dried long tomatoes. The seasoning with capers, garlic and a hint of spiciness enhances their rustic flavour. Exquisite raw, they will also impress you in the soffritto of a first course.
