Piennolo del Vesuvio is a traditional Italian tomato variety from the area surrounding Mount Vesuvius near Naples. The small, bright red fruits grow in clusters and often have a characteristic slightly pointed shape. Their firm skin and flesh give them particularly good storage qualities.
Piennolo del Vesuvio has an intense, aromatic tomato flavour with a pronounced balance of sweetness and acidity. The plants grow vigorously with an indeterminate growth habit and develop numerous clusters of small tomatoes.
Botanically, the variety belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum. Traditionally, harvested fruit clusters are tied together into large bunches and hung for storage, allowing the tomatoes to be kept for an extended period. In the kitchen, they are excellent for sauces, pasta, pizza and Mediterranean dishes.
This variety is ideal for anyone looking to grow a traditional southern Italian tomato with an intense flavour, good storage qualities and a distinctive cultural history.
