Winter tomato puree

Penda tomatoes are a tradition rooted in the rural Apulia of the past, when necessity made a virtue of necessity and every gift that mother earth offered was carefully preserved to last as long as possible. The term 'penda' refers to the custom of tying and hanging together a particular variety of cherry tomato: a choreographic and clever solution to carry the flavour of ripe tomatoes into the heart of winter. This tomato puree tells the story of this past habit, which remains alive in flavour and ready to appear on your table. Ideal for accompanying fresh pasta dishes in traditional formats, this sauce is also suitable for the preparation of stewed dishes.
