These semi-dry tomatoes are without a doubt the most flavorful and sensual tomatoes you will experience. Taking their own organically farmed Apulian tomatoes, the Faccilongo family filets them by hand, then lays them out to dry under the sun. Once the tomatoes have dried enough to concentrate the flavor, but are not too tough, they immerse them in their own organic estate extra virgin olive oil and herbs. Heaven.
Making their US debut at Eataly in NYC in September and October for Identità NY, and now coming to you. Zia Pia is the first and only importer to bring these beautiful organic semi-dry tomatoes in extra-virgin olive oil from Puglia directly to you in the US.
These are the values of Agricola Paglione, a producer who follows the short chain path of production and skillfully combines organic agricultural methods with artisan craftsmanship.
Working in agriculture for four generations, the Albano-Faccilongo family has in the past 16 years adopted only organic farming methods. Their production is based on a “short chain” of total control of all the steps in the food chain, from cultivation to marketing, allowing for total control of the finished product. The quality of their products is now recognized by food critics, press and top chefs. All Paglione products are produced exclusively from fresh tomatoes processed within 24 hours of picking.
