campari tomato


This weekend I was in the grocery and not thinking of buying tomatoes, until I saw these, were beautiful. The surprise was there  not only beautiful, are  also delicious. Looking at the package I saw that are a hybrid species called campari and is originated in Europe. They are small, the size of a golf ball, and comes in bunches.

The flavor is well balanced, sweet and without much acidity, just as were the tomatoes I ate when I was little at my grandmother's house. Do not doubt for a minute what I would do with them: A tomatoes. sauce
The sauce has earned , as well, to coat my ravioli,so,I could do some bruschette baguette with cheese and bits of tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil  Here  I let the recipe of my tomato sauce

There are 2 places that grow Campari tomatoes here in Canada one here in British Columbia and one in Ontario. They are pricey but worth every penny!!
