Aldo Armato ‘Pomodori Ciliegino’ Semi-Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil (Liguria 300gr)
Sweet cherry tomatoes are harvested at the height of summer then given the Armato treatment — semi-sundried and packed in olive oil, these bite-sized treats are bursting with flavor. A sweet, delicious addition to flatbreads, pizzas, and salads; a revelation.
The Producers
The Armato family has been involved in the olive trade and production of olive oil for multiple generations. It was over three decades ago in 1982 that we were first introduced to Aldo Armato — small in stature and modest in nature, but fiercely proud of his long family tradition of producing olive oil from the ancient Taggiasca groves planted in the hills above Alassio on the Ligurian coast.
Aldo and Laura’s legacy has been handed down to their daughter Alessandra and her husband Giordano Mazzariol. Together they have extended the use of their locally renowned olive oil into a series of products that are devastatingly delicious.
