Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP tomato: how much history surrounds this incredible small tomato. Consider that its color is so bright and red that they also call it burning. Some add a bit of poetry and say that burning comes from the fact that the roots feed on the lava of Vesuvius. The Piennolo then has this name because the clusters of small tomatoes are hung on strings (piennoli) and left to dry naturally in the fresh and salty breezes of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The sun, the wind, the sea, the fiery land are the secrets of this extraordinary fruit, rich in sugars and minerals, sweet and acidic, with a dense and full pulp, with few seeds and two lenticular bundles that divide it in half.
