The city of Naples, Italy (the historical epicenter of world-famous paste tomatoes like the San Marzano) is indeed divided into 10 distinct municipalities or <em>&#8220;Municipalit\u00e0&#8221;<\/em>. The name &#8220;Ten Fingers of Naples&#8221; is a brilliant homage to its origins.<\/p>\n<p>Also, take note of Lyudmila&#8217;s harvest dates. She is eating fresh tomato salads on <strong>October 22nd<\/strong> in USDA Zone 4! Elongated paste tomatoes with low water content and thick skins (like this one) are notorious for their post-harvest shelf life. If you pull the last green and blushing fruits off the vine right before your first fall frost, you can easily ripen and store them indoors in a cool, dry place for a month or longer.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccc Quick Summary (TL;DR): Dix Doigts de Naples \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A classic heirloom paste tomato from Italy.
