We get our cherry tomatoes from a number of different growers but when the UK season is over we rely on Luis Olcina in Andalucia in the South of Spain. The home of flamenco music, it seems, is also the home of the cherry tomato! Many are also grown in the nutrient rich soil of south east Sicily between Mount Etna and the Mediterranean. Vittorio based in Marina di Ragusa is a specialist grower and raises many of the more beautiful and unusual varieties of tomato. We work with this company throughout the season and also take melons and peppers for our boxes too.
Cherry tomatoes can be used whole in pasta dishes and salads. They have a sweeter flavour than ordinary tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are best kept in a paper bag or well-ventilated plastic container, in the fridge.
