The hanging tomato is an essential ingredient in Spanish cuisine, especially in Catalonia, where its use in the popular 'pa amb tomàquet' has crossed borders. This tomato, known for its elongated shape and intense flavor, is cultivated using traditional techniques that give it unique characteristics. This type of tomato is especially recognized for its ability to be stored for a long time while hanging, which gives it its name 'penjar.' Perfect for enjoying on slices of bread, it pairs well with a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a touch of salt and garlic to enhance its magnificent flavor. Whether as part of an appetizer or in a meal, this tomato becomes the ideal star of simple yet flavorful dishes.
