Crispino Italian Datterini Tomatoes are small, oval-shaped cherry tomatoes, a variety prized in Italian cooking for its naturally sweet flavour. Grown in Italy and prepared in Calabria, these tomatoes are packed in tomato juice with a little salt, keeping the recipe simple and versatile.

Named after the Italian word dattero, meaning date, Datterini tomatoes are known for their distinctive elongated shape. Each 400g tin contains 240g of drained tomatoes, ready to bring their characteristic tomato flavour to a wide range of dishes.

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

How to Use

Datterini tomatoes are particularly well suited to simple pasta sauces, where their natural sweetness pairs beautifully with extra virgin olive oil, garlic and fresh basil. Simmer gently and leave the tomatoes whole for a rustic sauce, or crush them lightly as they cook.

They also make an excellent base for homemade pizza sauce, tomato soups and vegetable stews. Try them with seafood pasta, baked fish or slow-cooked Mediterranean dishes.
