the term “Capuliatu” in Sicilian has the meaning of ground. According to tradition, this method of preserving dried tomatoes involves grinding and seasoning them with oil and parsley. In this recipe, we use our Nocellara oil, an oil with intense and balanced aromas.

Dried tomatoes are very rich in mineral salts, especially zinc, copper, calcium, phosphorus and potassium. Among the vitamins, especially those of group A and group B are included. Provitamin A, in particular, is more present in dried tomatoes than in fresh ones. And lycopene, which is preserved very well even in the dried product, together with vitamin C prevents the formation of bad cholesterol.

Our Segreti di Sicilia line of preserves was born from the love for this land and its traditions, from the scents of our childhood, from our grandmother's secrets and from the rediscovery of an authentic and genuine past. Each product speaks of a specific territory, of a biodiversity that the world envies us. We choose each of them from our own crops or from our network, small and local productions and farmers who work the land with the same passion and respect as in the past. These genuine products are then transformed in our modern canning plant with the help of latest generation machinery. We use innovative cooking and preservation techniques that guarantee absolute respect for the original recipe and, at the same time, the preservation of all the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh product and its main nutritional aspects. The absence of preservatives and colorings allows you to taste a genuine product.
