Oven-dried tomatoes are a true embodiment of Mediterranean cuisine, where simple ingredients transform into a culinary masterpiece. In Italy, this method of processing tomatoes has been used for centuries to preserve their rich flavor. Under slow roasting, they lose excess moisture, concentrating sweetness and aroma. Spicy Provençal herbs and sea salt enhance the natural richness of the tomatoes, while light caramelization of sugar adds depth to the flavor. These tomatoes are perfect for antipasto, pasta, pizza, and appetizers; they can be added to salads or served with cheese and fresh bread. With their tender texture and vibrant taste, they become a versatile ingredient that brings a touch of the sunny Italian coast to any dish.
