Green Tomato Wedges: Origin and Processing

Tomatoes harvested before they turn color in the San Marzano fields. Rich in fiber and low in sugar, they're cut into wedges, oven-dried, seasoned with a little salt and herbs, and preserved in sunflower oil.

Contrary to popular belief, it is a very tasty tomato with a Mediterranean flavour, ideal for enriching cold dishes and first courses.

How to use green tomato wedges

They are perfect paired with dishes based on mature cheeses, but also as a tasty appetizer on a platter together with other preserves.

Storage after opening

Once opened, the jar should be stored in the refrigerator with the segments covered in oil and consumed within a week. The green color, unusual for a preserve of this type, comes from harvesting it before it is fully ripe, a choice that favors the firm texture of the pulp.

The San Marzano area

The fields from which this raw material comes are located in the Sarnese-Nocerino countryside, an area historically suited to tomato cultivation thanks to its volcanic soil and proximity to natural water sources, conditions that favor slow development and a greater concentration of flavor in the fruit.

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.
