PROCESSING
It is obtained from small tomatoes, the cherry tomatoes variety to be precise, which grow in the open field during the month of April and are then harvested by hand between July and August. The fresh cherry tomatoes used for "La Dolce" tomato sauce are processed according to a completely artisanal production method. "La Dolce" tomato sauce, as well as all other I Contadini products, is produced using the technique of integrated production in the open fields. The harvesting stage is carried out strictly by hand with an on-site initial selection of vegetables, which are immediately transported for processing. At this point, the vegetables are left to dry in the sun, just as tradition dictates, and are salted by hand. Sun-drying allows unique organoleptic results such as the preservation of proteins, minerals and vitamins. Finally, they are packaged without the addition of preservatives. The cherry tomatoes are blanched, pureed and, finally, put inside glass jars with fresh basil, without salt being added. The resulting product is a puree with a sweet and delicate taste composed of 99% cherry tomatoes and 1% fresh basil.
