Sweet tomato puree Fiaschetto

The Fiaschetto tomato passée starts from an exceptional cherry tomato. Fiaschetto is a Puglian variety of modest size, very juicy and particularly sweet. It grows well throughout Puglia, but it is at Torre Guaceto (BR) that it reaches its peak: here the combination of sea air, soil and microclimate creates a unique ecosystem that local farmers have learned to know and enhance generation after generation.

The result is a passée that is sweet, dense and flavourful, unlike industrial passées made with tomatoes harvested unripe and artificially ripened. The sweetness of the Fiaschetto is not artificial: it is the result of a natural balance between plant, soil and the climate of a Nature Reserve.

Torre Guaceto is a Nature Reserve on the Adriatic coast of Puglia, between Brindisi and Fasano. The area is protected precisely because it hosts a rare ecosystem, where wetlands, Mediterranean scrub and agricultural fields coexist in balance. The sea air from the coast, the mineral-rich soil and the characteristic light of Salento create ideal conditions for Fiaschetto ripening.

This is not territorial marketing: the farmers of this area have worked the same land for generations and know exactly when to harvest the Fiaschetto to get maximum sweetness and flesh. That rural know-how is inside every bottle.
