Sapori Vesuviani

If you want to experience a slice of real Neapolitan life, take a seat at Pasquale Imperato's house in Portici.
We enter history, into the typical simplicity of these people who are so attached to their land that they always elevate it to the utmost respect.
Pasquale's mother could serve you a typical Neapolitan coffee made with fallout mocha that you won't easily forget.

Pasquale Imperato is a great figure in the typical regional production of Campania. A tenacious fighter who has supported long campaigns to promote products. An achievement above all the PDO with the Piennolo del Vesuvio tomato. Pasquale does not explain his products, he declares them as if they were poems. He loves his territory so much that his eyes are intoxicated with light when he talks about it. Vesuvius tells it as if we were still in Pompeii and Herculaneum. He founded the Sapori Vesuviani company precisely to give voice to a territory that is sometimes dull and frustrated, but which, however, hides a strength in the soul like few others.

Pasquale's company produces only local rarities, such as Vesuvius percoca fishing, Piennolo, violet eggplant, etc... Rediscovering the values and flavors of the past is its mission. He travels kilometers and kilometers to reach the farthest places and spread the word of Vesuvius. Passion? For sale... it is the soul and the essence of his entire existence. To give value to his Pomodorino del Piennolo DOP, he designed a gift box that earned him the first prize for packaging in Campania and a national finalist in the Oscar Green 2011 competition.
When he tells you about his land, he talks about Campania Felix, the land of gardens par excellence of Roman emperors and nobles. Here the climate is actually mild and the breeze is continuous and full of salt. The soil is then shaped by the miracle of Vesuvius and its tongue of fire that still warms cultivated land today. The mineral wealth of these lands is immeasurable and for this reason each vegetable, each fruit has a different flavor.

Pasquale has his properties right on the slopes of the large active volcano. Yes, because, deep down, his rebellious soul remains. We chose his entire production because it seems to go back in time with flavors and scents that are part of the ancient Neapolitan and Italian tradition. They are very rare products and worked with the concept of the simplicity and purity of the raw materials. From June we will also have the opportunity to send you home the jewels of the Vesuvian lands: the Piennolo del Vesuvio PDO Cherry Tomatoes, in bunches dried directly on the plant. A delicacy for all your most succulent pasta dishes. Yes, because remember that tomatoes are one thing, but Piennolo is king of kings!

Experience all the energy of this land and of Pasquale!
