Produced by the Belfiore family in the province of Matera (one of Italy’s oldest towns), these hand-peeled tomatoes are stunningly packaged and taste terrific—sweet, fruity, bright and bold.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
To highlight their fresh, ripe flavor, use them in simple sauces with a little garlic and chili flake, chopped and stirred into soups and stews or diced and folded into Tomato-Basil Risotto. Or try sautéing the tomatoes with a little garlic and chopped anchovy before tossing with broccoli or spooning onto crisped slices of chewy bread drenched with extra-virgin olive oil.
These tomatoes are so fully flavored we do as the Spanish do and simply smash the tomatoes with a fork into thick toast, douse in olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt.
