The "Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio D.O.P." is cultivated in the Campania region of Italy, on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, known for its fertile volcanic soil. "Piennolo" means "hanging" in the Neapolitan language, because they are traditionally hung in large clusters for a long period. The Piennolo tomatoes have a distinctive oval shape with a tip at the bottom. They are bright red in color, with a thick skin, dense texture, and low water content, which intensifies their flavor and aroma over time. They are perfect for making tomato sauce, gourmet pizza, or for baking.
