How to use red cherry tomato segments
Lightly sautéed, these red cherry tomato wedges enhance any dish: perfect for filling gourmet sandwiches, enhancing a platter, or adding flavor to a quick first course.
A versatile ingredient
They're also excellent for seasoning a cold summer pasta dish or for enriching a rice salad, bringing all the flavor of Italian tomatoes to the table.
Storage after opening
Once opened, store the jar in the refrigerator with the segments covered in oil and consume within a week. Cutting the onion into segments, compared to halving it, provides a different surface area that better holds the aromatic seasonings during processing.
Semi-dried, not dried
Unlike traditional sun-dried tomatoes, which are dehydrated until they almost lose their moisture, the semi-dried process stops halfway: the result is a product that combines the concentrated flavor typical of drying with a still soft and juicy consistency, more versatile in the kitchen.
The Sele Plain
Much of the raw materials Carbone processes come from the Sele Plain, in the province of Salerno: an area considered among the most fertile and suitable in Italy for growing vegetables and tomatoes, thanks to its mild climate, proximity to the sea, and rich alluvial soils. These conditions allow for consistent harvests of high quality and regular ripening throughout the season.
The artisanal workmanship
The vegetables and greens processed by Carbone follow traditional preparation methods, often based on recipes from Campanian peasant cuisine: slow cooking, seasoning with simple ingredients like oil, garlic, and aromatic herbs, and preserving in jars without the use of additional preservatives. This method prioritizes the authentic flavor of the raw ingredients over industrial standardization.
From the home table to the restaurant
Products designed for both everyday family use and professional catering, where short preparation times and consistent quality are essential: ready-to-use, they can be served as is or as a base for more elaborate preparations.
Seasonality and harvest
Many of the vegetables Carbone processes follow a seasonal harvest schedule, which determines their availability and quality throughout the year. Working seasonally often means sacrificing consistent year-round availability, while maintaining a higher quality of raw materials than forced or imported crops grown out of season.
A ready-to-use product
Processing and preserving them in jars allows you to always have a ready-made ingredient on hand in the pantry, without having to deal with the cleaning, cooking, and seasoning times required for fresh produce: a practical advantage that doesn't compromise flavor, thanks to a process designed to preserve the vegetable's original characteristics.
Without waste
Preserving vegetables in oil or jars reduces waste associated with the perishability of fresh vegetables, preserving the organoleptic characteristics of the product, harvested at the perfect ripening point, for a long time, ready to be consumed even months after harvest.
A versatile product at the table
Whether served as an appetizer, side dish, or ingredient to enhance a first course, this product is suitable for a variety of occasions: from a quick everyday meal to a more refined aperitif with guests, without requiring additional preparation time compared to what is already prepared in the jar.
