Rega Whole Cherry Tomatoes: Vesuvian Sweetness for Professional Kitchens

Rega whole cherry tomatoes are unpeeled Italian cherry tomatoes preserved in tomato juice: a 425 ml can with 400 g net weight and 240 g drained weight, supplied in a food service carton of 24 cans. Grown and processed by Agriconserve Rega in Striano, at the foot of Vesuvius in Campania, they contain only two ingredients and deliver just 40 kcal per 100 g.

What Whole Canned Cherry Tomatoes Are

Unlike peeled tomatoes, whole cherry tomatoes are preserved with their skin intact and immersed in tomato juice. The skin protects the pulp during processing and cooking, so each tomato keeps its round shape and concentrated sweetness even at pizza-oven temperatures. The recipe is essential: whole unpeeled tomatoes and tomato juice, with no flavourings or thickeners listed on the label.

Origin: Striano and the Vesuvian Plain

The tomatoes are 100% Italian and grow in the volcanic soil of the Vesuvian plain, the same agricultural district that produces San Marzano DOP. The mineral-rich dark earth at the foot of Vesuvius, combined with the Campanian sun, gives cherry tomatoes their typical balance of sugar and acidity prized by Neapolitan pizzaioli.

The Producer: Agriconserve Rega, a Family Story Since 1965

Agriconserve Rega is an agricultural cooperative based in Striano (Naples). Luigi Rega started the family farming business in 1965; the Rega and Strianese brands followed in 1987, and since 1999 the cooperative has operated an industrial complex of around 60,000 square metres. The company manages the entire chain from sowing to canning and also produces San Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese-Nocerino DOP.

Sensory Profile

Bright red colour, firm flesh and a naturally sweet taste with 5 g of sugars per 100 g, balanced by the gentle acidity typical of vine-ripened cherry tomatoes. The texture stays compact: drained tomatoes can be plated whole or crushed by hand directly on the pizza base.

Technical Specifications

Net weight 400 g, drained weight 240 g, can format 425 ml, carton of 24 cans, EAN 8003716606223. Average nutritional values per 100 g: energy 167 kJ / 40 kcal, fat 1 g (of which saturates 0 g), carbohydrates 5 g (of which sugars 5 g), fibre 2 g, protein 1 g, salt 0.9 g. Shelf life 36 months at ambient temperature; once opened, transfer to a glass container, refrigerate at 4 °C and use within two days.

Professional Uses

On pizza, crush the drained tomatoes by hand on the base before baking or add them whole halfway through baking: about 80-100 g per 33 cm pizza. For a quick pasta sauce, sauté the whole tomatoes for 5 minutes with garlic, extra virgin olive oil and basil. In fish cooking they are the base of acqua pazza: sea bass fillets simmered with cherry tomatoes, white wine and parsley. They also work on bruschetta, on focaccia and in oven-baked gratins with oregano.

Mistakes to Avoid

Do not simmer them for hours: long cooking breaks the skins and disperses the natural sweetness — for slow-cooked sauces choose tomato pulp or peeled tomatoes. Do not discard the preserving juice: use it to adjust the density of the sauce. Never store the opened can in the refrigerator as it is: always transfer the product to a glass container.
