How Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli makes its Italian Chopped Tomatoes 1024 536 cmdo

How Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli makes its Italian Chopped Tomatoes

Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli prepares its Italian Chopped Tomatoes with the extreme care that their size, texture and flavor standards need.
Our Chopped Tomatoes are a product that tastes good and is practical too, making life easier for chefs and pizza makers as it reduces the processing time for every recipe. Let’s find out why.

The tomato pulp of Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli mixes the perfection of peeled tomatoes approved by the largest trade associations in the pizza world and the greatest Italian cooking schools, with the convenience of a ready-to-use texture suitable for all preparations.

This is what we find in our catalog, but what does it actually mean?

To understand it, we need to start with the product processing steps.

The main ingredient of our pulp is the peeled tomato.
Our pulp therefore keeps all the quality assured to our peeled tomato by a processing method that has set Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli as the gold standard in the world.

The harvested tomatoes, their integrity and ripeness positively checked, are brought to the factory where they undergo within just a very few hours the blanching and peeling process, but not before having passed a selection process entrusted to sophisticated machinery that discards the vegetables that do not meet the standards for size, fruit healthiness and color, and only after the various stages of washing.

After the peeling, the tomatoes are finally cut to be turned into pulp. The cutting machine is equipped with blades evenly spaced so as to obtain uniform cubes.

Perfectly sized cubes of 19 x 19 mm are then obtained from the tomatoes
After this step, the tomato will be canned by adding only partially evaporated tomato juice.

The tomato processing by steps:

blanching,
peeling,
blade cutting, and
addition of partially evaporated juice
is exclusive to the method used by Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli and guarantees a texture that is rough and silky at the same time.

The final result is a product already perfect and ready to use even for the most visually striking recipes, saving time and effort in the kitchen, where time is never enough.

Cibus

Cibus is an International Food Exhibition and the reference tradeshow for the Italian food industry where the best of the made in Italy finds its highest expression.
The 2022 edition will be a particularly interesting edition for Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli as it will touch on topics such as:
– the relationship between industry and distribution
– the role of the agricultural supply chain for the profitability of businesses,
– the catering of the future and the role of PDO and PGI products in the product ranges.

For a company that is a leader on every continent and produces PGI products such as peeled tomatoes and PDO products like the San Marzano tomato, the 21st edition of this international agribusiness fair will therefore be the right event to tell Ciao’s big news!

Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli brings indeed to Parma its new image made of colors that recall both the concrete values of tradition and the uniqueness of a brand that, addressing professionals, has been able to achieve the goal of bringing the know-how of Southern Italy all over the world, while maintaining the veracity of those who live in contact with their land.
These elements will be the absolute protagonists within the events that will alternate at the stand during the days of Cibus, to tell the line we want to follow where past, present and future travel in one direction!

Ciao and the love for know-how in the brand’s new commercial 1024 536 cmdo

Ciao and the love for know-how in the brand’s new commercial

Ciao revolutionizes the concept of the canning industry with a new commercial dedicated to the love behind a job well done.
Discover what passion for excellence can do!

What is quality made of?

We’ve always told how the Ciao method mixes tradition with innovation in a production method rooted in the home culture of Southern Italy, but renovated with a touch of technological accuracy.

Accurate checks, a product selection that starts right from the field, incessant relationships with the entire supply chain, sample checks during the production process and after packaging.

This is what has been told so far and that will never change.
But behind a quality product there is much more.

There is the passion of a family that for generations has been nurturing the culture of Southern Italy and works to take the know-how of its South all over the world.
There is the pride of a close-knit group of workers who are aware that they are carrying on the tradition.

There is the warmth of Southern Italy, like that embodied by our “Ladies of Vesuvius”, the Campanian moms who look after our red gold, supervising the methodical work of the machines of our plant.

Why a new Ciao commercial?

Because we want to tell as CMDO focuses on the quality of the raw material, which is handled with the same care that is reserved for a family member.

Because we want to tell that we at Ciao – Il Pomodoro di Napoli make our products together with those who choose the quality of Made in Italy and Made in the South, thinking that what will arrive in the pantries of artisans around the world must represent the pride of a country that in terms of food culture can and will always have its say.

Peeled tomatoes of Naples: a processing method unique in the world 1024 550 cmdo

Peeled tomatoes of Naples: a processing method unique in the world

What makes so precious and traditional the processing method of our peeled tomatoes? Let’s discover together four of the reasons that make the working of our peeled tomatoes so unique

A method inspired by the way in which Southern Italy’s housewives traditionally preserve tomatoes for the winter. This is the inspiration behind the working process that makes unique the Southern Italy’s tomatoes such as those of Ciao.

But what’s so special about this methodology?

Here are three useful details to tell about it that cannot go unnoticed.

The processing of tomatoes from Southern Italy is unique because:

the tomato harvesting process is still tied to artisan dynamics, and is a true ritual that is renewed every year during the summer months.

the work in the fields and the contact with the farming community of the canning industry remain indispensable and even if technology will never replace tradition, it can be used to perfect and preserve the quality of the final product.

the canning process takes place immediately after the harvest and not longer than 6 hours after the fruit has been detached from the plant. This ensures that our tomatoes can maintain all the characteristics of a freshly harvested product even after 3 years of storage.

In short, the quality of the peeled tomatoes from Southern Italy is the result of an inseparable combination of agricultural know-how and technological progress that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.
