Ristoris knife-cut semi-dried green tomatoes come in a 750 g 4/4 tin, sold in cartons of 6. They are made from Italian tomatoes harvested before full ripening, cut into wedges and dried until they reach the ideal texture: firm flesh, concentrated aroma and a fresh, slightly tangy taste. A ready-to-use gourmet ingredient for appetisers, salads, savoury pies and pizza toppings.
What Are Semi-Dried Green Tomatoes
Semi-dried tomatoes sit halfway between fresh and sun-dried: the gentle drying process removes part of the water, concentrating sugars and aromas while keeping the flesh soft. Green tomatoes, picked before complete ripening, add a distinctive note that is fresher and more acidic than classic red semi-dried tomatoes, ideal to balance rich and creamy preparations.
Unlike fully dried tomatoes, semi-dried ones need no rehydration: they are ready straight from the tin, which makes the 750 g format particularly efficient for professional kitchens.
The Knife-Cut Difference
The wording al coltello (knife-cut) indicates that the tomatoes are cut into irregular wedges rather than calibrated industrial cubes. This cut preserves the structure of the fruit and gives the product an artisanal look that stands out on gastronomy counters, antipasti platters and plated dishes.
