- Grown and processed in Parma, Italy — genuine Italian import, not a domestically packed tomato
- Naturally sweet variety — smaller cherry tomatoes tend to carry more natural sugar than standard Roma tomatoes

How to Use
Open the can and use the tomatoes whole in pasta sauces, or crush them gently by hand for a chunkier sauce. They also work well roasted, as a bruschetta topping, or stirred into fish and seafood dishes. Refrigerate any unused portion in a sealed container and use it within a few days, since the can is shelf-stable only until opened.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these cherry tomatoes contain allergens?
Mutti Cherry Tomatoes Ciliegini are labeled vegan, gluten-free, and Non-GMO, with tomatoes and tomato juice as the main ingredients. They do not list common allergens such as milk, egg, soy, or nuts on the can. Facility handling notices can still change between production runs, so read the printed can before use if you have a specific sensitivity.
How should I store this can after opening?
Transfer any unused tomatoes to a sealed container and refrigerate them, since an opened can should not sit at room temperature. Use the leftover tomatoes within a few days for the best flavor and texture. Always check for any change in color or smell before use, and read the can for the manufacturer's exact guidance.
How do Ciliegini differ from diced or crushed tomatoes?
Ciliegini are canned whole rather than diced or crushed, and the cherry variety tends to be sweeter than standard Roma tomatoes used in most diced products. Choose whole Ciliegini when a recipe calls for tomatoes that hold their shape or when you want to crush them yourself to control the final texture.
Are these tomatoes imported from Italy?
Yes. Mutti grows and processes its tomatoes in Parma, Italy, and this can is imported from there rather than packed domestically. Real Prime Deals ships it from our New Jersey warehouse to customers in the US and Canada, so you receive the same product sold in Italy.
This is by far the best canned tomatoes I've ever had In all 37 years of life. As a chef and home cook I try to stay away from canned or processed foods. These gems don't have a can taste. It's now a favorite in my household. I Also bought a few other products from Italy and they all cooked beautifully together.
Amazing real Italian product without preservatives
Delicious, and sweet. Thick juice. Every can came dented.
Delicious Cherry Tomatoes from Italy are a great start to many recipes.
These are so good. I use them in almost everything. Spaghetti sauce, stews. Great flavor.
This product is a fabulous true tomato experience. Best ever in all my years!It is imported. Some cans arrived dented.
Great for cooked sauces.
My typical pasta sauce turned out so much better using these
I really enjoyed these tomatoes. Also I admire the company's long history and their commitment to excellence
5 out of the 6 cans are damaged and the product is not eligible for return 😕
These are amazing. I ordered a couple of cans to test them, and they are so delicious for so many purposes I ordered a case of 12.
I used a can in a quick and easy pasta recipe. It was so good with great tomato flavor. The cherry tomatoes were still whole but once smashed the fresh aroma was wonderful. I had enough sauce left over to use for lunch the next day
I never saw cherry tomatoes in a can until I saw these on a cooking show. I immediately looked to see if I could get the brand featured on the show. Sure enough Amazon had them. I usually roast fresh cherry tomatoes for recipes but sometimes I am out. I roasted these and added them to a soup. Delicious!!!
Wonderful, delicious product that arrived in perfect condition. I am so grateful I found these on Amazon after my local grocery stores stopped selling them. I had been to multiple stores looking for these (including Whole Foods!) and I wasted all that time and expensive gas driving around. To all those good people who were understandably disappointed when they received dented/damaged cans they had to throw away - please order these beauties by the case, as I did. There are 12 cans snugly packed in protective bubble wrap in a sturdy box designed especially for this product. It’s a good tight fit. The cost for a case of 12 through Amazon is less than what my local groceries sold it for when they carried it. And with Amazon Prime this product was brought directly to my door. When you buy one or two cans the employee responsible for packing has to hunt around for something to put them in and may not select an appropriate container or cushioning. Buying on Amazon for 15+ years has taught me quite a bit, often the hard way. These shelf-stable products have a 14-month window by which they need to be consumed and will be used up long before then. An excellent purchase.
I have purchased these before at local specialty retailers but hard to find in stock and very expensive. Happy to find on Amazon but concerned about reviews bashing the packaging. Received quickly and well packaged. Delicious in sauces as it retains its bodily structure without disintegrating. I first used mine in a Chicken Cacciatore. Could not be more pleased.
Really excellent flavor. Maybe the best canned tomatoes ever. However, the tomatoes are not peeled. I understand that peeling tiny cherry tomatoes is probably not doable. The skins are a touch annoying but the favor kind of outweighs it.I eat these right out of the can!
I use it for additions to sauces, with vegetables, meats, sea food . Pretty much whenever I want to add a tomatoe base. One of my favorite is to sauté some garlic in good olive oil, add mutti cherry tomatoes and cook on low to med. heat until peppers are semi popped, then blanch some green beans and add them to sauce and cook about 2min. Add some fresh basil and slivered almonds or walnuts. Serve
I ordered these after reading a foodie review of a chef who swears by them for her fine dishes. They lived up to the hype. I think these may be the best tasting tomatoes I've ever had. Mutti, of course, is an excellent brand and I have 4 other Mutti varieties but these are truly stellar.
Mutti by far makes the best canned tomatoes. They are imported from Italy where the growing standards are a bit stricter.This particular product, cherry tomatoes in sauce is absolutely divine. The cherry tomatoes are amazing sweet and I could eat them out of the can. I like to use them for a pizza sauce base.
I'm a big fan of Mutti tomato sauces (born and raised in Italy, make my own pasta/pizza from scratch, I have something to say about this). This one in particular might be my favorite. Cherry tomatoes aren't so easy to find at the grocery store, and when you do they are expensive, poor-tasting, or both. These are neither!I found individual cans at specialty store but they would cost 2-3x as much as the unit-price of this 12-pack, so as long as you plan on using this regularly, I would totally recommend it!
