Crispino Italian Cherry Tomatoes, known as pomodori ciliegini in Italian, are small, round tomatoes grown in Italy and packed in tomato juice with a little salt. Prepared in Calabria, southern Italy, they offer a convenient way to bring the flavour of Italian tomatoes to everyday cooking.

Cherry tomatoes are appreciated for their naturally sweet flavour and small size, making them particularly useful in dishes where you want the tomatoes to retain some of their shape. Each 400g tin contains 240g of drained tomatoes.

Made without preservatives or added colourings, these tomatoes are suitable for vegans and are gluten-free.

How to Use

Gently simmer with extra virgin olive oil, garlic and fresh basil for a simple cherry tomato pasta sauce. Leave the tomatoes whole for a rustic finish, or crush them lightly as they cook to create a thicker sauce.

They also work well in seafood pasta, homemade pizza sauces, vegetable stews and soups. Try adding them to baked fish dishes or cooking them with olives and capers for a Mediterranean-style tomato sauce.
