Why Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli is perfect for your ragu

Ragu in Naples is a must that is prepared well in advance and is eaten on Sundays. What makes the difference is its very long cooking time. That’s exactly why for it we need a selected raw material that keeps and enhances its characteristics during this process. The tomato puree from Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli has what it takes for a perfect ragu. Here is why.

Pork chops, gnocchi, baked pasta, meatballs or simply broken ziti: ragu is the tradition par excellence on the Neapolitan festive dining table.

A so great uniqueness needs a tomato that best expresses all the characteristics of the Neapolitan style that this sauce enhances. From patience to vitality, through complexity and versatility, the ragu expresses Naples to 360 degrees and only a tomato that comes from the South of Italy can hold its so many nuances.

Tomato puree and tomato pasta are the flagships ingredients that together with the meat that make the Neapolitan ragu so an unmatched recipe.

To hold the hours long cooking time of this sauce, the tomato puree must be :

  • dense,
  • compact,
  • sweet,
  • slightly acidic,
  • with a fresh and natural tomato flavor,
  • and without adding anything else.

 

This identikit of the perfect sauce for the ragu goes well with the characteristics of the tomato puree made by Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli with only partially evaporated tomato juice.

To guarantee their fresh and sweet taste, the tomatoes are harvested at the right point of ripeness and processed after just a few hours to keep all the specificities of the climatic environment of the South of Italy. The tomato puree from Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli is therefore an excellent help in the kitchen, but above all it is suitable for the preparation of any traditional recipes.

Street Food and Street Art blend in a wall painting

A journey between the pizza’s white art and the popular creativity par excellence – the street art – closes today, July 22, 2020! The new facade of the Istituto Comprensivo Michelangelo Ilioneo in Bagnoli, fully painted with the mural crafted thanks to the partnership between the Costantino Cutolo Foundation, the City of Naples and Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli, will be unveiled today, at noon. But what does the tomato have to do with painting? We tell you everything here.
The story

In the beginning, there was the Pizza Village

As we know, the latest edition of the Napoli Pizza Village was held in 2019. And precisely during the celebration of the world’s most beautiful pizza, the stand of Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli greeted a fascinating contest that challenged the most creative writers of the Neapolitan area. Four young talents selected among many others through a first online demonstration phase requesting the submission of their arts portfolio.

Of the four artists in contest on the promenade of Naples, Davide Arpaia was then declared the winner as the best proponent of the link between pizza and tomato, receiving the opportunity to “put his hands” on a public building owned by the City of Naples. No night trips carrying the spray paint hidden in the bag then, but a true and real mural to enliven in September the coming back to school for many boys and girls of the Neapolitan suburbs.

The wall painting:

The work crafted by Davide Arpaia on the facade of the Istituto Comprensivo Michelangelo Ilioneo shows a tomato plant that climbs between the windows of the classrooms and yields books (i.e. culture). And the word “culture” is here the keystone that joins the attention to the youngest (one of the great goals of the Costantino Cutolo Foundation), and the cultural legacy so perfectly embodied by pizza and tomato.

“Street art is an artistic avant-garde able that inspire to think with irony, sarcasm and elicitation about the evils, defects and contradictions of modern society. A movement that reveals in advance trends and predicts the taste of people acting in the communities. A street art popular and democratic like pizza, of immediate enjoyment and strong impact,” said Lino Cutolo.

The cans of Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli: beyond the usual packaging

How does Ciao tomato arrive on our dining tables as fresh as just harvested?
Part of the credit goes to its packaging. Let’s discover the secrets of tinplate packaging together.

We are used to seeing Ciao tomatoes in our pantries or handling them while preparing pizzas or other recipes, but perhaps not everyone knows that that simple metal cylinder is a high-tech product full of virtues.

The advantages of tinplate

  • Ciao cans are made from tinplate, a material that allows
  • To increase the durability of a food giving it a natural long-shelf life, if pasteurized
  • To maintain the organoleptic characteristics of the product
  • Thus reducing waste
  • And finally, tinplate packaging is environmentally friendly as it is infinitely recyclable.

 

Every detail is important to assure the success of your creations, and CMDO takes care of its tomatoes from the field to the dining table!
