This perfectly describes their elongated, oval, date-like shape. But more importantly, it describes their sugar content! True Datterini tomatoes are famous across Europe for having significantly higher brix (sugar) levels than standard round cherry tomatoes. Combined with their thick, crunchy skin (which makes them highly crack-resistant and gives them an amazing &#8220;snap&#8221; when bitten), they are widely considered the ultimate snacking tomato. The <em>Nero<\/em> (black) version shown in this thread adds the complex, earthy, and smoky flavors typical of dark anthocyanin\/black tomatoes to that intense Datterini sweetness.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccc Quick Summary (TL;DR): Datterini Nero \ud83c\udf0d Origin: An Italian-style grape\/cherry tomato.
