SICCAGNO TOMATO, THE SICILIAN VARIETY GROWN WITHOUT WATER
The Siccagno tomato is grown in the countryside of the municipalities of Valledolmo, Sclafani Bagni, Alia Vallelunga and Villalba, and its peculiarity is that it is grown without using water. This methodology allows the fruit to present exceptional organoleptic characteristics and an inimitable taste.
The waterless tomato
The name Siccagno derives precisely from the cultivation method that does not require irrigation.
This is possible thanks to the specific characteristics of the territory where it is grown. The soil of the area is in fact rich in clays and sandy details which allow for excellent water self-regulation of the soil. Despite the high summer temperatures, the particular climate of the area allows the air to maintain a correct degree of humidity, suitable for the growth of tomatoes. This type of cultivation also minimizes the need for fertilization and the administration of pesticides.
This tomato is not a real species, being in fact a cross of several local varieties, it presents. The fruit is small in size but its properties are varied. The particular production method in fact allows it to have a low calorie intake but high levels of vitamins and antioxidants, a real panacea.
This particular tomato was born in the Sicilian hinterland to satisfy family consumption. Production has only recently opened to the market, presenting a truly exceptional product, another pearl of a land rich in beauty and taste.
