Description
Use and combinations
The interesting contrast it creates with butter, also salty, makes it an interesting ingredient for a delicious breakfast out of the ordinary.
The combination with Grana Padano cheese or Parmesan cheese is curious and the contrast it creates with robiola is very refined, Taleggio or on a Piedmontese toma. For those who like to enrich their second courses with a sweet-sour tip, accompaniment with white meats is interesting, pork and game.
Curiosity
Tomato is a plant native to Peru, cultivated in Mexico first by the Maya and then by the Atzeks. It was imported into Europe by the Spanish only in the first half of the 1500s. The "official" and documented history in Italy begins instead on 31 October of 1548 in Pisa when Cosimo de 'Medici receives from the Florentine estate of Torre del Gallo a basket of tomatoes born from seeds donated to his wife, Eleonora of Toledo, from the father, Viceroy of the Kingdom of Naples.
Known with various variations of the word "tomato”, was named for the first time as "pomo d’oro”From the great doctor, naturalist Pier Andrea Mattioli (1501-1578), for the typical shape and yellow coloring of some ancient varieties.
The domestication process of the plant has made it possible to propagate self-fertile individuals, in Europe, in fact, there are no natural pollinating insects of the beautiful yellow tomato flowers, which being free of nectars do not interest bees. So just a little wind or bumblebees shaking the flowers, to get a good harvest.
