The Piennolo Tomato of Vesuvio D.O.P. (Lycopersicon esculentum) is one of the most typical and ancient products of Campania agriculture, so much so that it is even included in the scene of the traditional Neapolitan nativity scene.

It benefits from the volcanic soil: it is said that its "ardent" color is also the work of the volcano, since according to legend, its roots are the nourishment of the lava of Vesuvius itself.

The Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio is cultivated with a traditional method, which involves the use of supports with wooden stakes and iron wire, which prevent the berries from touching the ground and ensure that they receive uniformly the sun's rays. The tomatoes, weighing about 25-30 grams, are round and presented in a small lace on the lower end. The skin is leathery and the pulp, firm and compact, has a characteristic sweet taste with an acidic aftertaste, due to the particular concentration of sugars and mineral salts.

The typical area of ​​production and conservation of Pomodorino del Piennolo coincides with the territory of the Vesuvius National Park.
