■ A staple of southern Italy
In addition to olives and capers, fennel seeds, which are used as accents, give the tomato sauce a deeper flavor.
It goes very well with white fish as well as pasta. Enjoy the lush flavor of Sicilian capers and the rich combination of ripe cherry tomatoes.
■ Only precious cherry tomatoes
On a small hill in the mountains of Sicily, the cherry tomatoes (Chiriesino) used as the raw material for the sauce are grown at the Salemipina farm, which is well-drained and the wind blows pleasantly.
The sauce is made using ripe cherry tomatoes that have received the blessings of the sun and are only made in the summer, when the tomatoes can be harvested. Therefore, the tomato sauce of Salemi Pina is fragrant and tasteful.
The trajectory of the Salemi family
The Salemi Pina farm is located in Sortino, in the province of Syracuse, Sicily.
Twenty-five years ago, the Salemi family, who ran an olive farm in this area, switched to organic cultivation of all their crops based on the idea of environmentally friendly methods.
The land of the Salemipina plantation overlooking Mount Etna is the perfect place to grow tomatoes. Benefiting from the Mediterranean sea breeze and sun, winters are mild and summers are hot and dry.
In addition, the soil containing volcanic ash from Mount Etna made it possible to grow chiliesino (cherry tomatoes) with a high sugar content.
■COMMITMENT TO MADE IN SICILY
Salemipine's 10-hectare farm organically grows tomatoes, vegetables such as basil, zucchini, peppers and chili and olive trees, while following the cycles of nature. No preservatives, colours or additives are used, and only fully mature products are harvested and processed in a short time with state-of-the-art equipment.
The oil that is the base of the important raw material is also filled with the commitment of the producers, such as using fresh olive oil made from the olives harvested from the Salemi Pina farm. Don't use anything superfluous. Commitment to organic cultivation. And we're proud to say that we only use "MADE IN SICILY".
■ Mamma's Recipe
Salemi Pina's products use only organic vegetables and recreate the recipes inherited by the mamma of the Salemi family.
For my family, I made a product as it is with the taste that I have been making with love.
"We want you to taste the same things that we eat."
