Product Description
Crispino Bruschetta Pomodori Secchi is an authentic Calabrian sun-dried tomato spread (250g) made by Famiglia Crispino in the Alta Valle del Savuto, Calabria, Italy, from sun-dried tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, basil, and garlic — with no citric acid, no preservatives, and no dyes. Vegan and gluten-free.
For generations, Calabrians have dried tomatoes under the southern sun to intensify sweetness, deepen color, and concentrate natural umami. This spread preserves that ancestral technique in a refined, ready-to-use form: bold, vibrant, and deeply Mediterranean. Sun-dried tomato bruschetta made this way — without acidity correctors, on a short local supply chain — is rarely exported from Italy; Taycte brings one of the few authentic versions to the United States.

Why This Is Different From Typical Sun-Dried Tomato Spreads
Most sun-dried tomato spreads sold in the U.S. are industrially produced, acidified with citric acid, artificially colored, sweetened, or made outside Italy. Crispino's version is the traditional Calabrian one: real sun-dried tomatoes, no acidity correctors, no preservatives, prepared in small batches by a family producer working with ingredients sourced within roughly 50 km — the clean-label philosophy that earned Famiglia Crispino First Place at the Italian Food Awards.
How to Enjoy
Spread on crostini, focaccia, or toasted bread; toss into warm pasta or use as an instant sauce base; layer into panini and grilled-vegetable sandwiches; spoon over eggs, roasted vegetables, or potatoes; add to antipasto boards with cheeses and olives; or blend with ricotta, mascarpone, or goat cheese for a five-minute gourmet dip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as sun-dried tomato pesto? No — pesto is typically blended with cheese and nuts. This is a pure tomato-based spread: sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil, basil, and garlic, which also makes it vegan and nut-free [verify facility statement].
Why no citric acid? Most industrial producers add citric acid to standardize acidity and extend shelf life; Crispino relies instead on traditional preparation and natural preservation in oil, keeping the tomato flavor unaltered — the defining trait of authentic Calabrian antipasti.
How do I use it in pasta? Stir two to three tablespoons into hot drained pasta with a splash of cooking water — it emulsifies into a sauce on its own. Finish with Parmigiano or keep it fully vegan.
How long does it last after opening? Refrigerate, keep the surface covered with olive oil, and use within 3 days.
