FLAVOUR IS A FRONTIER
Natoora Sardinian Camone Winter Tomatoes
- Some tomatoes can only reach their full potential during the cooler months
when growers can exert higher levels of water-stress on their plants which would
be impossible in hot, dry seasons.
- We have grouped these varieties together, creating a radical new category of
seasonality: Winter Tomatoes
- Camone is one of these varieties, sourced from minimum intervention growers in
Sardinia, it exhibits all the characteristics we look for in a Winter Tomato:
taut skin and firm flesh with a balance of bright acidity and the distinct umami
sweetness of slow-grown fruit.
- Free draining sandy coastal soil and the increased salinity of the environment
create further stress on the plants, which the growers expertly manage, keeping
their plants on the edge of survival.
- In season only from the end of December to early May, this flavour profile
cannot be replicated at any other time of year.
Take it further
- Cut into wedges, drizzled with sea salt and extra virgin olive oil.
- Roughly chopped, cooked slowly with olive oil. Toss through penne.
Our packaging is plastic-free
- We have developed our own revolutionary packaging which is entirely
plastic-free and home disposable. Each of our recyclable cardboard punnets is
flow-wrapped with home-compostable film which, unlike traditional plastic
flow-wrap, disintegrates within 180 days. Dispose of the black punnet in your
normal recycling and the clear film in your food waste bin.
- Each punnet bears the ‘Plastic Free’ mark of A Plastic Planet, a grassroots
movement which aims to turn off the plastic tap.
Natoora's radical approach to seasonal sourcing is shaping the future of food
- We are revolutionising the food system.
- We work direct with growers who value flavour, biodiversity and heritage over
yield.
- We give them the support they need to build a better future for food, rooted
in small scale, sustainable agriculture that gives back to our planet.
