Tomate 'Piennolo del Vesuvio' (Solanum lycopersicum) semences

The 'Piennolo del Vesuvio' tomato is a very special rarity. It is a late-season tomato that grows deep in the volcanic region around the Vesuv in Italy. The warm climate and mineral-rich soil favour its cultivation and produce small, firm fruits of a deep red colour. Their characteristic thick skin keeps them fresh for months and preserves their intense, sweet-sour flavour.

. A traditional way of storing these tomatoes is to hang them in 'piennoli', small strings that allow them to be preserved naturally until winter. This method reflects the deeply rooted culture and sustainable cultivation methods of the local farmers, who have been using this practice for generations.

The 'Piennolo del Vesuvio' has many culinary uses. It is ideal for making sauces, pizzas and fresh salads. Its firm texture and rich aroma enhance any dish and offer a depth of flavour rarely found in other tomato varieties.
