These succulent cherry tomatoes are fresh, sweet and bursting with vitality.

They are from an ancient niche variety cultivated in one of Europe's finest tomato growing areas and specially selected for the Granoro Dedicato range (see below for description). They have a vivid red colour and possess the marvellous fragrance and sweet cherry tomato flavours unique to Puglia.

No industrial methods are allowed in their preparation. The  tomatoes are carefully harvested by hand and the collection baskets are immediately placed on long tables in the field, where the best ones are hand selected and the stalks removed. They are then washed in running water and sealed in glass jars, their freshness waiting to be revealed as soon as you open the jar. This is how cherry tomatoes tasted to the locals 150 years ago.

For discerning customers who like authentic, quality products which are healthy and full of flavour.

The Dedicato Range by Pastificio Atillio Mastromauro - Granoro

Puglia is a region of astonishing beauty and diversity but it also enjoys another distinction which perhaps isn't so well known in the UK; its outstanding farm produce.

The remarkable quality of tomatoes, olives, cereals and legumes from Puglia is the tangible end result of an extraordinary terroir and centuries of farming tradition. The Dedicato Range of products celebrates the best Puglia has to offer - genuine products that are healthy and delicious. It also aims to help maintain sustainable farming in the area.

STRAIGHT FROM THE FARM

All the produce is cultivated in limited quantities on small farms in the region using traditional methods, then expertly transformed into the final product by a small group of local artisan companies. No supermarkets or large distributers are involved in what is an intimate process of bringing the consumer much closer to the producer.

The range includes pasta from select durum wheat varieties; wonderful cherry tomatoes and olive oil from Castel del Monte; Lentils and chickpeas from Altamura and the Alta Murgia National Park. They are all ancient varieties once commonly produced in the area until large-scale farming and industrial production meant the laborious working methods and small yields were no longer sustainable. Now thanks to projects like the Dedicato line, they are now making a comeback.

All the products carry a double seal of quality as they undergo regular and scrupulous quality checks by 2 independent bodies. They also have guaranteed traceable provenance.

DEDICATO CHERRY TOMATOES FROM CASTEL DEL MONTE, PUGLIA

Puglia is one of the world's leading regions for tomato production and niche varieties of remarkable distinction can be found in every province. These cherry tomatoes are one such variety from Castel del Monte in Puglia. As all products in the Granoro Dedicato line, they strictly follow traditional methods of cultivation. They are then harvested with extreme care and conserved fresh in a simple solution of water and sea salt top preserve all their natural taste and freshness.

Another aim of the Dedicato range of products is to help preserve the biodiversity of the land and safeguard its heritage of taste and tradition. For this reason farming is strictly controlled and only small sustainable areas are cultivated naturally with low environmental impact.

Mediterranean sunshine and perfect soil conditions make Sicily a haven for the olive tree.

This is an estate-bottled, organic extra virgin olive oil produced by Giuseppe Giordano on his farm near Messina in north Sicily. It is a blend of classic fruity Sicilian olives, the Santagatese, Leccino and Cerasuolo. They produce a full-bodied flavour with hints of spice and freshly cut grass with a nice pepper finish.

Ideal for drizzling on grilled meats and vegetables, soups, broths and risottos. That's what Giuseppe says. We actually also love it on salads, raw veg, shellfish and with aged cheeses!

Award winning quality at a great price.

This Pecorino "Diavoletta" or "Little Devil" is a delicious young pecorino cheese with hot Sicilian red chillies. 

It is made by artisan cheese maestri, the Petrucci brothers from quality milk from Ewe's grazing on the amazing and lush slopes of Mount Terminillo in North Lazio-Umbria border. The cheese is aged for just 40 days in caves where it acquires its semi-soft texture and addictive mild creamy flavours. The addition of red chillies add an unforgettable finish with a subtle crescendo of warmth creating a wonderful contrast with the creamy nature of the pecorino.

The Diavoletta makes a great appetiser diced with salami and vegetables and is a true classic to round off a meal, on its own with a glass of full-bodied red, with honey or pears or chutneys.

Produced by the Fratelli Petrucci, award winning artisan cheesemakers from the mountain areas between Lazio and Umbria.

Please note: this artisan cheese is hand made and weights may vary slightly.
