Pachino and its treasure

A box of flavours from rural Sicily under the Christmas tree.

Dear customers,
this year our 2025 Christmas catalogue, entitled "Pachino and its treasure", takes you on a journey to the heart of our land.
Every Christmas we present our territory and its typical products, elements that have always represented the added value of our food culture, so the time has come to introduce the protagonist of our land: the tomato.

The reason for our choice lies in the unconditional love for our land, a love we compare to that for one’s own children. To love one’s land unconditionally means to stay and fight, remaining tied to values and landscapes that have always characterised our thinking: We cannot change the past, but we can shape the future.

The "treasure" of Pachino we celebrate is rooted in its agricultural history. After a century of an economy based on must for French wines, between the 1960s and 1970s, there was a rapid agricultural conversion: vineyards gave way to tomato cultivation. Farmers radically transformed the landscape by installing greenhouses for protected crops. It is here that the tomato grows so good and tasty that it earned the IGP mark in 2002.

The Rita box pays tribute to one of the first two tomato varieties that, starting from the 1980s, began spreading Pachino’s product on the markets. This selection celebrates the boldness of that period of agricultural conversion, offering intense and distinctive flavours that reflect the genuineness of the first harvests.

By choosing our products, you continue to discover the Tomato of Pachino and the story of this splendid land.
