What Are Datterini Tomatoes in Sauce
The datterino is a small, elongated tomato variety named after the date fruit it resembles. Compared with the classic peeled plum tomato it has a thinner skin, fewer seeds, a higher sugar content and markedly lower acidity. In this preparation the fruits are picked at full ripeness, processed in season and preserved whole in tomato juice, so they keep their shape, their sweetness and their fresh aroma all year round, ready to use straight from the tin.

Organoleptic Profile
Whole, intensely red fruits with a tender but consistent flesh, a naturally sweet flavour and a rich tomato aroma. The juice is dense and bright red, ready to be used as it is. Thanks to the low acidity no sugar correction is needed in the pan, a detail chefs appreciate when building delicate fish sauces or light pizza toppings.
Professional Uses in the Kitchen
On gourmet pizza, crush the datterini directly onto the base in place of passata, or add them halfway through baking for an intense, sweet tomato note that supports premium toppings such as burrata or anchovies. In the pan, 2-3 minutes over high heat with garlic and extra virgin olive oil are enough for an express sauce for paccheri or mezze maniche. They are equally at home in fish stews and guazzetti, mussel and clam sautés, eggplant parmigiana and braised meat dishes. One 800 g tin yields roughly 8-10 portions of pasta sauce, which keeps food cost per portion under tight control.
Pairings
Classic partners are fior di latte and mozzarella, fresh basil, oregano, capers, olives, anchovies and extra virgin olive oil. On the menu they shine with seared sea bass, octopus, meatballs and grilled vegetables, and they bring colour and natural sweetness to focaccia and bruschetta toppings.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not cook datterini for hours like a classic peeled tomato: prolonged heat flattens their natural sweetness and fresh aroma. Do not add sugar by habit, as the variety is already low in acid. Once the tin is opened, never store leftovers in the can itself: transfer them to a non-metal container, keep at 0-4 °C and use within 3-4 days.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store the closed tin at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and direct light. After opening, transfer the unused product to a food-grade non-metal container, refrigerate at 0-4 °C and use within 3-4 days.
