Pomodoro di Pachino is a variety of tomato that originates from the town of Pachino, located in the province of Syracuse, Sicily, Italy. This tomato is recognized for its unique taste and quality, which is attributed to the specific climatic and geographical conditions of the region.

History

The cultivation of the Pomodoro di Pachino dates back to the early 20th century. The tomato was introduced to the region by local farmers who recognized the potential of the area's fertile soil and favorable climate. Over the years, the cultivation of this tomato has become an integral part of the local economy and culture.

Characteristics

The Pomodoro di Pachino is characterized by its small size, round shape, and intense red color. It has a firm, juicy flesh and a sweet, slightly acidic taste. The skin of the tomato is thin but resistant, which helps to protect the fruit and prolong its shelf life.

Cultivation

The cultivation of the Pomodoro di Pachino is strictly regulated by the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, which it received in 2003. This status ensures that the tomatoes are grown according to specific guidelines and in a designated geographical area. The cultivation process involves traditional farming methods, including manual harvesting.
