Naturally Sweet Yellow Datterino Tomatoes from Pachino, Sicily
Discover the delicate flavour of BellaTerra Sicilian Yellow Datterino Tomato Passata, made from sun-ripened Yellow Datterino tomatoes grown and hand-picked in Pachino, Sicily.
Yellow Datterino tomatoes, known in Italy as Datterino Giallo, are prized for their beautiful golden colour, naturally sweet flavour and delicate tomato character. Carefully harvested at peak ripeness and gently sieved in Sicily, they create a beautifully smooth and velvety passata that allows the flavour of the tomatoes to shine.
Made simply with Yellow Datterino tomatoes and a touch of salt, with no added sugar and no preservatives.
What Makes Yellow Datterino Passata Special?
Yellow Datterino is a distinctive Italian tomato variety celebrated for its natural sweetness, golden-yellow colour and refined flavour.
Our tomatoes are grown in Pachino in south-eastern Sicily, one of Italy's most celebrated tomato-growing areas. Abundant Mediterranean sunshine and cooling coastal breezes help the tomatoes develop their distinctive character before they are harvested and gently processed close to where they are grown.
The result is a Sicilian tomato passata that is:
- Naturally sweet
- Smooth and velvety
- Delicate and refined in flavour
- Vibrant golden-yellow in colour
- Made with no added sugar
- Made without preservatives
- Produced and bottled in Sicily
What Does Yellow Datterino Passata Taste Like?
BellaTerra Yellow Datterino Passata has a naturally sweet, fresh and delicate tomato flavour with a silky texture.
Compared with a more robust red tomato sauce, its refined character makes it especially suitable for dishes where you want the tomato to complement rather than overpower the other ingredients.
Perfect with Seafood, Pasta & Risotto
The delicate sweetness of Yellow Datterino makes this passata particularly well suited to fish and seafood dishes.
Try it with:
- Prawns, clams, mussels and white fish
- Seafood pasta and spaghetti
- Risotto
- Fresh pasta and gnocchi
- Pizza and flatbreads
- Soups and Mediterranean dishes
- Vegetables and pulses
For a beautifully simple pasta sauce, gently warm the passata with BellaTerra Extra Virgin Olive Oil, add fresh basil and finish with a little sea salt.
