Cherry tomatoes have an interesting history. They are believed to be native to Central and South America, and were brought to Europe during the time of colonization. However, cherry tomatoes as we know them today, small and sweet, were developed from selective crossings in different regions of the world. These small, tasty tomatoes have become very popular around the world and are used in a variety of dishes and recipes.

But it is in the volcanic land of Sicily where this variety of tomato achieves its most delicious expression, so much so that they are considered by many gourmets to be the best cherry tomatoes in the world and account for more than 40% of total tomato consumption in Italy.
Cherry tomatoes are grown in various areas of Sicily, mainly in the provinces of Palermo, Ragusa, Catania and Siracusa. These regions offer favorable climatic conditions such as high solar radiation, dry climate that, together with their fertile soils and water with high salinity, create ideal conditions for growing high-quality cherry tomatoes.

Of all the cherry trees grown in Sicily, the “paquino” or “pachino” variety is the most valued by tomato lovers.
