Sometimes, simplicity speaks volumes — that’s certainly the case with this Cuore del Vesuvio dish. Marinaded, seasoned and doused in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the raw character of the tomato comes through. Dishes like this lean on incredible produce. The mineral complexities of volcanic soil, coastal proximity, high-salinity water and abundant sunshine provide an ideal growing environment for Raffaele’s Cuore del Vesuvio. Through minimal watering, Raffaele stresses his tomatoes just enough to produce a high concentration of sugars and nutrients. Make sure to leave time for the marinade – six hours – to intensify those flavours.

We exist to fix the food system.

People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavour, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.

By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.

Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
