Pomodorino di Manduria is an ecotype of tomato typical of Manduria, a city in the province of Taranto. In the local dialect, it is also called "pummitoru paisanu".
Origins[edit]
Tomatoes are used in many Apulian traditional dishes, such as friselle or some typical recipe with pasta, meat and fish. The region hosts at least four traditional varieties of tomato.
Characteristics[edit]
These tomatoes are cultivated in little plots of land (1/2–2 hectares). They are sown in March and harvested from the second half of June to the first days of September.[1] This ecotype does not need any trimming or pruning operation. The fruit weight is between 10 and 25 grams.
From some researches, it has been discovered that this ecotype is very resistant to the tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) and with a graft that this tolerance is also transmitted to other varieties.[2][3]

Geography[edit]
Pomodorino di Manduria is grown in Manduria and Maruggio and, to a lesser extent, also in Sava, Avetrana and Lizzano. These cities and villages are located in deep loamy territories called Terre ti patuli. Near the Ionian Sea in the areas of San Pietro in Bevagna and Campomarino, the tomatoes are cultivated without the need for irrigation, while in the inland called "Terre rosse", two-three irrigation operations are needed in June.
Cuisine[edit]
Tomatoes are eaten fresh during summer with friselle or in salads with the barattiere di Manduria. Another use is for the production of the homemade tomato sauce or for making the dried tomatoes in oil. The main typical recipe is the "Jatedda", a salad with fresh tomatoes, garlic, "Terra d'Otranto" extra-virgin olive oil, salt, capers and oregano; usually it is served with slices of homemade dry bread.
Designation of origin[edit]
The Italian Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies has recognised pomodorino di Manduria as prodotto agroalimentare tradizionale (PAT) of Apulia.[5]
