Yellow Datterini Tomatoes Sammy: Sweetness and Colour for the Professional Kitchen
Sammy unpeeled yellow datterini tomatoes in juice bring the naturally sweet, low-acid profile of the Italian yellow datterino to the professional kitchen. Each 500 g tin contains whole, unpeeled yellow datterini preserved in their own juice, ready to use for gourmet pizza bases, delicate pasta sauces and refined appetizers. The carton of 12 tins is sized for restaurant and pizzeria service.
What Is the Yellow Datterino
The datterino is a small, elongated tomato variety named after its date-like shape, prized for its high sugar content and thin skin. The yellow version keeps all the sweetness of the red datterino while adding a markedly lower acidity and a bright golden colour that stays vivid even after cooking. Preserved whole and unpeeled in juice, it keeps its texture intact and releases its full aroma only when the tin is opened.
The Producer: Sammy, from Pagani in the Agro Nocerino Sarnese
Sammy is the brand of Commerciale Export Srl, based in Pagani, in the province of Salerno (Campania), the historic heart of the Italian tomato preserving district. The company is a member of the Consorzio di Tutela del Pomodoro San Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese Nocerino, the consortium protecting the San Marzano DOP tomato, and its range covers peeled tomatoes, San Marzano DOP, fillets and small-fruit tomatoes such as the datterino.
Organoleptic Profile
Intense golden-yellow colour, soft but whole flesh, dense juice. On the palate the yellow datterino is decisively sweet, with delicate acidity and a fresh, fruity finish: a profile that pairs naturally with shellfish, white fish, burrata and fresh basil.
Professional Uses
On gourmet pizza, the yellow datterino replaces the classic red base: blend the tomatoes for a few seconds, season with extra virgin olive oil and spread raw before baking. With fresh pasta and seafood, simmer the whole datterini briefly so they keep their shape. They also work whole on focaccia, in yellow tomato bruschetta and as a sweet counterpoint to burrata served at the table. One 500 g tin yields sauce for approximately 4 to 6 portions of pasta.
Pairings
For a complete yellow-pizza setup, pair the datterini with a professional type 00 pizza flour, fiordilatte julienne, dried oregano and a 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil, all available in the LAPA catalogue with combined delivery in a single order.
