I love these tomatoes! About once a year or so, I order a few jars of these great Italian tomatoes. They were introduced to me in the mid - late 1980's by the manager of a small, local Italian specialty shop. They had, I think, three, maybe four stores, and carried some great products from Italy. These tomatoes just blew me away ...so every now and then I grab a few jars and use 'em for special dishes. I cook them very lightly, closer to just being warmed or heated than cooked down. Just thinking about 'em makes me smile.
