Description

Merinda Tomatoes 1kg are 1kg of Merinda tomatoes – the large, ribbed, deep red variety grown primarily in southern Italy and Spain. Merinda tomatoes are a modern variety bred for outstanding flavour rather than shelf life. As a result, they have an intensely rich, sweet tomato flavour with good acidity. Furthermore, they have a dense, meaty flesh with very few seeds, making them ideal for salads and cooking. In particular, they make one of the finest simple tomato salads available outside of high summer heirloom varieties.

About Merinda Tomatoes 1kg

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 Merinda Tomatoes 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Merinda Tomatoes 1kg 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 Merinda Tomatoes 1kg

To get the very best from Merinda Tomatoes 1kg:

  • Slice thickly and dress with the finest olive oil, flaky sea salt and fresh basil for an outstanding salad.
  • Halve and roast at 160°C for 45 to 50 minutes with olive oil and garlic until concentrated and jammy.
  • Furthermore, Merinda tomatoes are excellent stuffed with rice, herbs and feta and baked for 30 minutes.
  • Additionally, blend roasted Merinda tomatoes for an outstanding pasta sauce with depth and body.

Perfect Pairings

Merinda Tomatoes 1kg pairs beautifully with:

  • The finest extra virgin olive oil, flaky sea salt and fresh basil
  • Buffalo mozzarella, burrata or stracciatella for a simple plate
  • A chilled Vermentino, Fiano or a dry Sicilian white alongside
  • Aged balsamic vinegar or good anchovy fillets as an intensifying element

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, Merinda Tomatoes 1kg 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.
