The Bona Furtuna farm is under the stewardship of Pasquale “Mimmo” Marino, a master botanist.
He’s studied Sicily’s unique ecosystem for over two decades to preserve ancient plant varietals and keep traditional practices alive.
Grown carefully in limited harvests, these sun-dried tomatoes grown in Sicily are bright and sunny red in color and soft and supple in texture, which can be hard to come by in sundried tomatoes. On the nose, the smell of warm tomatoes in the sun and sweet dried fruits. The flavor is noticeably bright, salty and acidic—very powerful for a sun-dried tomato. In fact, the brightness and strong tomato flavor is the most exceptional aspect of Bona Furtuna’s sun-dried tomatoes.

We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Use these meaty, supple sun-dried tomatoes to add texture and a bright, sweet accent to your dishes. Dice and add to tomato-based sauces for extra-deep tomato flavor and a bit of texture. We also like to add them chopped to bulgur pilaf, or even mixed into dishes such as kibbeh and our Lentils with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Blue Cheese.
