Cuore di Bue Tomato, 500g

Cuore di Bue means ‘ox heart’ in Italian and this variety is celebrated across Italy for its exceptional flavour. As a result, it has an intensely rich, complex sweetness balanced with good acidity. Furthermore, the flesh is almost seedless and very meaty, with almost no water content. In particular, this makes Cuore di Bue tomatoes outstanding for eating raw where the pure flavour comes through completely.

About Cuore di Bue Tomatoes

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Cuore di Bue Tomatoes from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Cuore di Bue Tomatoes From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Cuore di Bue Tomatoes

To get the very best from Cuore di Bue Tomatoes:

• Slice thickly and eat at room temperature with the finest olive oil, sea salt and torn basil – nothing more.
• Use in a classic Panzanella salad with good sourdough, cucumber, red onion and basil.
• Furthermore, Cuore di Bue tomatoes make an outstanding tomato sauce – their low water content produces a thick, intensely flavoured result quickly.
• Additionally, serve sliced with aged Parmesan shavings, good olive oil and black pepper for a simple antipasto.

Perfect Pairings

Cuore di Bue Tomatoes pairs beautifully with:

• The finest Sicilian or Ligurian olive oil and flaky sea salt – the purest treatment
• Burrata, fresh mozzarella or aged ricotta salata alongside
• A chilled Greco di Tufo, Fiano or a dry Sicilian white
• Good sourdough bread rubbed with garlic for the simplest accompaniment

Storage: Keep refrigerated and use within a few days of delivery. Most vegetables are best stored unwashed in the fridge. However, root vegetables and onions keep well in a cool, dark, dry place. Furthermore, use as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Cuore di Bue Tomatoes brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
