DOP PIENNOLO TOMATO
The intense flavor and the possibility of keeping it for a long time, hanging in the hand-worked “piennolo” shape, make it ideal for enhancing the taste of pizza and other typical dishes of Neapolitan cuisine : for this reason it is among the oldest and most popular products of the Vesuvian area.
One of the legends about the Vesuvius piennolo tomato dates back to the creation of the city of Naples . This in fact would have been created by Lucifer who stole a piece of heaven and threw it on the earth: his touch, however, made the earth infertile. It was then that Jesus, saddened, would have let himself go to tears: his tears, falling on the slopes of Vesuvius, made the land surrounding Vesuvius fertile again.
This is how the piennolo tomato was born, with a “divine” flavor.
Our piennolo tomato, which has also obtained the DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) certification , is also available in preserves , natural.
FRIARIELLI ALLA NEAPOLETANA
The recipe includes broccoli, and its delicious tops, seared in extra virgin olive oil together with a clove of garlic (to give perfume) and chilli. Finally they are seasoned with a drizzle of raw extra virgin olive oil and enjoyed alone or accompanied with sausages, the typical Campania dish “Salsicce e Friarielli” is very famous. The slightly bitter taste of this side dish typical of Neapolitan cuisine is unmistakable.
THE HONEY
Of remote origins, studied by the Egyptians and known to be a precious ally of the immune system, honey is one of the typical excellences of the Vesuvius National Park.
The Fornacelle honey is collected in the hives of the Agricultural Company and processed with artisanal methods, in full respect of the natural phases of processing, thus ensuring a genuine product of the highest quality.
