Antica Enotria has always been committed to goodness and naturalness, and in our all-natural cherry tomatoes, you’ll find all the love for our land, a perfect ecosystem for these little delights. With their intense red color, they are hand-picked during the month of August when they are at the peak of their juicy sweetness.
Why do we harvest them in the peak of summer?
Summer is an essential time for our all-natural cherry tomatoes. It is thanks to the sun of Puglia, the sea breeze, and our unique terroir that our tomato-based products retain those authentic characteristics. In particular, our all-natural cherry tomatoes are one of our specialties. Small and firm, with a crispy skin and an explosive flavor, they are preserved only in water and salt to maintain their taste and freshness, just like our grandparents used to do. It is thanks to their wisdom, passed down from generation to generation, that we are proud to have created a product that doesn’t require artificial preservatives.
Also great because they are organic
At Antica Enotria, we know that what is good for the earth is essential, which is why our cultivation choices are guided by respect for seasonal cycles. We rely only on sustainable farming techniques, and our lands are treated with natural substances. This life and work philosophy allows us to get the best from our fields and guarantee an exceptional fruit on the table, like our all-natural cherry tomatoes.

Also known as “focaccia pugliese” or “focaccia barese,” this delicacy is loved and consumed daily by many Apulians, accompanying different moments of their day. It is characterized by a soft texture, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Prepared with simple ingredients like flour, water, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and yeast, it is a versatile dish that can be enriched with black olives, cherry tomatoes, onions, rosemary, and other tasty ingredients.
Focaccia is particularly loved as an appetizer or snack during aperitivo time. Cut into squares or strips, it is often filled with prosciutto, cheese, fresh tomatoes, or marinated eggplant.
Here’s the recipe we propose:
Ingredients for the dough
- 300g all-purpose

- 20g fine salt
- 5g brewer’s yeast
- 25g extra virgin olive oil
Ingredients for the topping
- 500g all-natural cherry tomatoes
- Pinch of oregano, extra virgin olive oil and coarse salt.
Preparation
To make a delicious focaccia with cherry tomatoes and oregano, start by creating the dough by mixing water and flour by hand, then add honey and brewer’s yeast. Pour the water into the dough, making sure to combine it with fine salt. Once the dough has absorbed the water well, add the olive oil and place it on a floured surface. Shape the dough into a spherical form and let it rise for about two hours. Now, cut the all-natural cherry tomatoes in half and squeeze out the excess liquid. Set them aside with the oregano. Place the risen dough in an oiled baking pan and carefully spread it out. Now, cover the dough with the cherry tomatoes, making sure to add a drizzle of olive oil and coarse salt. Finally, sprinkle some oregano and let it rise for another 30 minutes. And now, all you have to do is bake it in a preheated oven at 190 degrees Celsius for three-quarters of an hour, and you’ll have a fantastic focaccia to bring to your table!
