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.
