Ristoris semi-dried red cherry tomatoes come in a 750 g 4/4 tin, packed in cartons of 6 for professional kitchens. Bright red cherry tomatoes typical of Southern Italy are cut in half, partially oven-dried and preserved in sunflower seed oil with natural herbs: parsley, hot chili pepper, garlic and oregano. Tomato content 57%, no declared allergens, ready to use straight from the tin.
What Are Semi-Dried Cherry Tomatoes
Semi-drying removes only part of the water from the ripe cherry tomato: the sugars and aroma concentrate while the flesh stays soft and juicy. Unlike fully sun-dried tomatoes, semi-dried tomatoes need no rehydration and keep a fresher, sweeter profile, which makes them an immediate garnish and ingredient for professional use.
The Producer: Ristoris
Ristoris Srl, based in Broni in the province of Pavia (Lombardy), produces, selects and distributes Italian specialities for the food service channel, with customers in Italy and in over 47 countries. Raw materials are selected favouring Italian origin and processed in season from fresh product, in facilities certified to ISO, BRC and IFS international standards.
Taste and Texture
Sweet, concentrated tomato flavour with the typical roasted note of oven semi-drying; soft, fleshy texture and a light aromatic kick of garlic, oregano, parsley and chili from the seasoning oil. The colour stays a bright, appetising red, ideal for plating.
Professional Uses
- Antipasti: serve drained alongside burrata, fresh mozzarella or cured meat platters
- Gourmet pizza: add after baking, so the tomatoes keep their texture and aroma
- First courses: toss drained tomatoes into pasta dishes at the end of cooking
- Salads and bowls: use as a sweet-savoury accent; the seasoning oil can dress the same dish
- Bruschetta, focaccia and sandwiches: an instant Mediterranean topping with no prep work
