Pomodoro fiaschetto di Torre Guaceto

Pomodoro fiaschetto di Torre Guaceto is a traditional cherry or plum tomato variety originating from Carovigno. The fiaschetto tomatoes are small in size, sweet, juicy, and great for preserving. They're often used to prepare passata (tomato sauce) that was saved for the winter.

However, these small tomatoes came close to disappearing because the costs of cultivation and harvesting were too high, while yields were too low, unlike modern tomato hybrids that were developed specifically for the making of passata. The harvest of these tomatoes begins in June and lasts throughout the summer.
