Drained weight 630 g, carton of 6 jars, EAN 8003716004043. With 4.2 g of natural sugars and only 29 kcal per 100 g, it gives professional kitchens a sweet, low-acidity tomato base for pizza, seafood pasta and fish dishes.

What "a Pacchetella" Means

The pacchetella is a traditional preserving technique from the Naples area: ripe cherry tomatoes are split lengthwise by hand into fillets, the "pacchetelle", and packed raw in glass jars with water and salt only. No citric acid, no concentrate, no cooking before jarring: the pulp stays firm and whole, the juice remains light, and the fruit keeps the flavour of a tomato just picked in the Sarno valley.

The Yellow Tomato: the Original Gold of the "Pomo d'Oro"

When the tomato reached Europe from the Americas in the 16th century, the first varieties described by botanists were yellow: the Italian word "pomodoro" literally means golden apple. Campania has kept yellow varieties alive in its market-garden tradition. Compared with red cherry tomatoes, the yellow fruit is sweeter, with a lower perceived acidity and a delicate, almost tropical note that works beautifully with fish, shellfish and white pizza bases.

The Producer: Agriconserve Rega, Striano (Naples)

Agriconserve Rega was founded in 1965 by the farmer Luigi Rega in Striano (Naples), in the Sarno river plain between Vesuvius and the Lattari mountains, in the heart of the Agro Sarnese-Nocerino. Today the company processes around 500,000 quintals of fresh tomatoes each season in the 60,000 square metre plant built in 1999, bottling under the Rega, Strianese and Zia Rosa brands for the Ho.Re.Ca. channel and retail. Rega is listed among the suppliers of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN) and the same group also produces San Marzano DOP dell'Agro Sarnese-Nocerino peeled tomatoes.

Sensory Profile and Technical Data

Ingredients: yellow cherry tomatoes, water, salt. Nothing else. Average nutritional values per 100 g: energy 29 kcal, fat 0.3 g (saturates 0.0 g), carbohydrates 4.4 g of which sugars 4.2 g, fibre 1.4 g, protein 1.5 g, salt 0.28 g. The fillets are golden yellow, firm to the bite, with a sweet pulp and a clean, non-acidic finish that does not need sugar correction in the pan.

Professional Uses

1) Yellow pizza: drain and crush 80-100 g of fillets per 33 cm base in place of red sauce, then add fior di latte and finish with EVO oil. 2) Seafood pasta: toss linguine or paccheri with the fillets in the last 3-4 minutes of cooking to keep the golden colour bright. 3) Baked fish: sea bream or sea bass with yellow pacchetelle, olives and capers. 4) Gourmet bruschetta with oregano and extra virgin olive oil. 5) Two-colour pizza topping mixing yellow and red pacchetelle. Common mistakes: long cooking dulls the golden colour, so keep heat brief; never top a pizza with undrained fillets, the base turns wet.
