The Datterino tomato originally comes from Sicily. The very small, elongated, deep red shiny tomatoes resemble small dates in shape, which is where the name "date tomato" comes from. However, the true special feature of the Datterino tomato lies in its exciting aroma profile and pronounced sweetness. It can achieve a much higher level of sweetness than conventional tomato varieties. To further enhance this typicality, Peter van Nahmen, together with the passionate spice miller Ingo Holland, developed the addition of a small amount of salt. The choice fell on genuine "Sylter sea salt," which comes from the salt manufactory of Alexandro Pape. For a rounded taste experience and a fine seasoning, black Kerala pepper from Ingo Holland, Altes Gewürzamt, is used.
