Beneventano pizzutello tomato is a traditional Campanian variety with pointed, elongated fruit, grown for generations in the Sannio hinterland for its rusticity and intense flavour.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. A medium-sized indeterminate plant, traditionally grown in Benevento vegetable gardens.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant outdoors from April, with light staking.
Traditional hillside cultivation, with moderate watering and organic fertilising following local farming practice.
The elongated, pointed fruit weighs about 60-80 g, with firm deep red skin and very few seeds.
A rustic variety suited to the inland hill climate, still worth protecting from downy mildew in humid seasons.
Perfect for sauces and preserves thanks to its compact flesh, following the farming tradition of the Benevento area.
Rich in lycopene and vitamin C, Beneventano pizzutello tomato has antioxidant properties and a concentrated, flavourful taste.
