Andrea: the present and the future
Head of a research department at the National Research Council, specializing in computational linguistics (and here we start with the fancy words: it's the discipline that deals with text analysis and getting the computer to automatically understand the meaning of words within a sentence or text), Eugenio was, among other things, the co-author of a collection of 1000 works of Italian literature on CD Rom and now, quoting the article by Paolo Massobrio in the magazine The Cuisine Press "happy producer of equally brilliant products of Sicilian agri-food with his company PachinEat, in Pachino, Sicily."
She recounts: "The adventure began with a holiday in Pachino in 1997. In 2000, we bought a house, as outsiders. In the summer, when the tomatoes were ripe and could no longer be harvested for sale, we locals would buy them and, for a few days in all families, we would make sauce. We can't share the fun and joy of the days we prepared the sauce, but the taste, genuineness, and quality we offer are the same."
In fact, he found the simple, fast, and mechanical method of extracting water from the tomato. He is responsible for all the graphic design and packaging of PachinEat, and his is the energy and stubbornness in carrying this project forward.
The richness of PachinEat
The particular microclimate that identifies the Pachino area is characterized by the benefit of two seas -the Ionian and the Mediterranean Sea-, by the winds that beat the coast and the territory with force, by the amount of solar radiation that exceeds that of any other part of Italy, and by the groundwater with significant brackish content. These characteristics give the products of the land, and tomatoes in particular, an unreachable richness and quality.
The tomato is the main product of this territory.

Our tomatoes
The types of tomatoes that this part of Sicily offers us that constitute the heart of PachinEat's production are:
Cherry Tomato
Sweet and balanced, the cherry tomato is enhanced with light and fast cooking.
It has a "cherry" appearance on a herringbone cluster, a brilliant color, and a high brix degree
(sugar content).
Date Tomato
With a strong and intense flavor, it can also be enjoyed as a fruit. The cluster is shaped
like a fishbone and features 10 to 15 small tomatoes of about 30 grams each. It can reach 12 brix.
Marinda tomato
A winter tomato with a sweet, enveloping, juicy, persistent, flavorful taste. Recommended in salads
for its firm, crunchy, and compact texture. Its weight is 100-150 grams. It can reach 12 brix.
Piccadilly and Pixel Tomatoes
Small tomatoes that grow in clusters of 8-12 fruits, weighing 30-50 grams each.
