Classic organic tomato bruschetta – Secrets of Sicily

The tomatoes we choose for our organic classic bruschetta are very rich in water and low in calories. They have a good quantity of potassium, little sodium and a lot of lycopene, the most important substance contained in tomatoes because it acts as a powerful antioxidant.

Our classic organic tomato bruschetta Segreti di Sicilia should be consumed just as its name suggests: on bruschetta made of freshly toasted bread. It is not necessary to rub garlic on the bread because this is already contained in the tomato seasoning. The juice of the fresh vegetable, combined with the fine Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil, is the ideal finish for bruschetta, together with a fresh basil leaf. The product can also be used raw on white pizza for a light and summery version, as an accompaniment to cheeses in appetizers and on platters, alongside light white meat main courses or to season couscous and pasta salads.

The bread to be used as a base for the classic organic tomato bruschetta can be toasted in the oven, on the griddle or on the non-stick pan. In the first case, you place the bread already cut into slices (maximum two centimeters thick) directly on the grill or on a baking tray lined with baking paper. They are baked in a hot oven at 200° until both sides are golden. On the already hot griddle or non-stick pan, however, place the bread on one side for about 5 minutes and then turn it over.

Black olive pâté is the ideal base for tasty and original appetizers. Here are some examples: spread on savory biscuits alternating with a layer of ricotta, on canapés with tuna cream and capers, on croutons with crumbled almonds or with an artichoke in oil placed on top, on bruschetta with a slice of salmon or a simple anchovy and some wild fennel.
