Italian cherry tomatoes in tomato sauce: Apulian summer, sealed in every jar

Donna Francesca cherry tomatoes in tomato sauce capture the very essence of Apulian summer: warm sunshine over the fields, the scent of fertile soil, and the natural sweetness of fully ripened red tomatoes. Made exclusively from 100% Italian tomatoes grown in Puglia, they follow a short supply-chain philosophy and are artisanally processed just a few hours after harvest, preserving freshness, flavour and authenticity in every jar.

Oblong, round and cherry tomatoes are carefully hand-selected directly in the fields. Among them, cherry tomatoes stand out for their natural sweetness and fleshy texture, ideal for creating an intense yet perfectly balanced tomato sauce. Irrigation with slightly saline water enhances the fruit’s natural savouriness, reducing the need for any adjustments during processing.

The result is an authentic Italian cherry tomatoes in tomato sauce, with no added sugars or thickeners, delivering to the palate the full, vibrant flavour of freshly harvested tomatoes.

What makes Donna Francesca cherry tomatoes in tomato sauce so special

The quality of our cherry tomatoes in tomato sauce comes from a precise combination of factors:

• 100% Italian tomatoes, grown in Puglia

• Artisanal processing from freshly harvested tomatoes

• Irrigation with slightly saline water

• No added preservatives, sugars or flavourings

• Respect for the natural timing of the raw ingredients

After harvesting, the tomatoes are manually destemmed, washed with fresh running water and processed within just a few hours. They are then blanched, crushed or gently placed into jars, sealed with airtight lids and pasteurised. This process preserves — sealed in glass — the aroma, colour and organoleptic qualities typical of freshly picked tomatoes.

This process is deeply rooted in Apulian rural tradition, where every step is carried out with care to give the tomatoes new life, without ever compromising their true identity.

From field to jar: artisanal craftsmanship that preserves flavour

Cherry tomatoes in tomato sauce are produced using an artisanal method that prioritises simplicity and the quality of the raw ingredients. After hand harvesting, the fruits are selected one by one, processed immediately and transformed into sauce through gentle steps that respect the natural structure of the tomatoes.

Final pasteurisation ensures food safety without compromising flavour. The absence of preservatives allows you to enjoy a fresh, clean and authentic product, where every spoonful tells the story of the land it comes from.

This attention to detail results in cherry tomatoes in tomato sauce with a velvety texture, vibrant colour and naturally sweet flavour — perfect for everyday cooking as well as gourmet preparations.
