Did you know that…?
The " golden apple" arrived in Spain on the return of the conquistadors , in 1540.
At first, it was used as an aphrodisiac for filters and potions and as a balcony plant because it had small yellow to orange fruits that the Sun King liked very much. Being an extraordinary novelty, in no time at all, the gardens of Versailles were completely carpeted with it.
Only later and much further south did it change its colour to a beautiful bright red and become tomato puree , in Sicilian dialect “I buttigghi” di salsa: ideal for preparing a rich variety of first and second courses , superlative for seasoning one of the most famous and delicious foods in the world… pizza !
