Finely Chopped Tomatoes
Finely chopped tomatoes or 'Polpa' retain their freshness as if they were picked straight off the vine; in fact they're picked from the vine at their peak of sweetness under the Italian sun.
After selecting the tomatoes, they are then deseeded, steamed, peeled and finely chopped before being processed into cans.
Polpa is a unique product because it combines the finely cut pulp of the tomato with the tomato juices to deliver a thinner consistency, ideal for slow cooking at high temperatures and for recipes that need to deliver a delightful popping flavour of fresh tomatoes.
-
Whole Peeled Tomatoes
Pelati, or peeled tomatoes, are an essential ingredient found in every cucina across Italy. They are fleshy and firm plum tomatoes that have had their skin removed before being immersed into a rich tomato passata sauce.
The processing and packaging of our peeled tomatoes happens within 24 hours of harvest to capture the authentic Italian freshness of tomatoes picked straight from the vine.
The meatiness of the fresh tomato make this product suitable for all dishes and they are a core ingredient of many a traditional Mediterranean recipe.
-
Tomato Passata
Although passata in Italian means 'puree', there is an essential difference between what the UK market recognises as tomato puree and what the Italian's call passata.
Passata is traditionally made in late summer, during peak tomato season, as a way to preserve harvested tomatoes for the rest of the year.
Passata has a sweet and creamy texture and is used traditionally as a base for soups and traditional sauces.
To produce passata, the tomatoes are usually puried while fresh and raw. They are sliced into chunks and briefly simmered to allo. The tomatoes are then run through a food mill or a specialised passapomodoro machine.
-
Tomato Paste
Bold and intense, tomato paste is ideal for intensifying the flavour of authentic Italian kitchen creations. Our paste products only use the highest quality Italian tomatoes. We create this rich, intense taste by reducing the natural water content of the tomatoes by simmering only the sweetest and ripest selections.
Our pastes are often used to develop the flavours of recipes such as Bolognese, casseroles, stews, pizza toppings and pasta sauces.
-
Tomato Puree
Tomato puree is a canned sauce. It is made by lightly cooking tomatoes and then puréeing the softened product into a liquid. made of cooked, strained tomatoes. It has a thin consistency and a sweet, mild, and fresh tomato taste.
Tomato purée is used to form the base of thinner tomato-based sauces and condiments like salsas, hot sauce, marinara sauce, or pizza sauce.
