What it is
These are prepared tomato wedges that have been preserved in olive oil and seasoned with a blend of Italian herbs and spices. The tomatoes are left unpeeled, which contributes to their texture and rustic appearance. The olive oil acts as a flavorful medium, infusing the tomatoes with its richness and carrying the aromatic notes of the spices. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy the taste of sun-ripened tomatoes with a Mediterranean flair, ready to be added to various dishes.

How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh tomatoes, these wedges are already seasoned and preserved in oil, offering a concentrated flavor and softer texture. The unpeeled nature provides a slightly chewier bite compared to peeled varieties. The inclusion of olive oil and Italian spices means they are ready to use without additional seasoning.
