Datterini tomatoes are characterized by their sweet, rich taste and inviting aroma. They are small in size with an elongated shape, similar to that of a date, which is how they got their name. Datterini has a thicker skin than most tomatoes and it houses fewer seeds, which means more fruit. Like cherry tomatoes, Datterini tomatoes have a high acidity, which ripens into a flavorful sweetness with a higher sugar level than most other varieties. Datterini tomatoes are fantastic for eating fresh and raw, largely used for making bruschetta and salads. Also goes alongside cold meats and soft cheeses, or top-off a pizza with a scattering of Datterini and fresh herbs. Cooked Datterini are perfect for preparing a delicious tomato sauce to pair with pasta, vegetables, fish, meatballs, and fresh cheese.
