The golden age of tomato "Fiaschello Battipagliese"
Pleasure are the Fiaschello, I always had a passion for the land. No other plant has ever received such high regard by fans of old varieties as I do, the tomato of our lands. In Italy is definitely an essential ingredient for the kitchen and a constant presence in all the family gardens.
Nowadays there are small companies that locally are dedicated to the recovery of ancient varieties, like mine. We gathered "the farmers" with my brothers and resurface in me those moments of happiness when we were the main course of traditional lunches and dinners. I will never forget the smile of the laborers who smiled for the full year. In summer long stretches of tomato plants lined the coast.
Plots of land dotted with women and men intent to harvest. An indigenous product of the plain of Battipaglia's me "the Fiaschello" food that the flourishing local cannery consists Baratta, Rondino, Concoper. I was grown up to the 70s and then forgotten as they attacked in recent years of production, from viruses that have undermined my resistance. I was then supplanted by other hybrid varieties less attacked by plant viral diseases.
Over the years it has also witnessed the final abandonment of my cultivation even in conjunction with the closing of the agri-food companies operating in the area.
