• Tomato Paste

Tomato paste is a thick, concentrated paste widely used in cooking to add flavor, color, and richness to dishes. To produce tomato paste, the seeds and skins of fresh tomatoes are removed, and the tomatoes are cooked under pressure for several hours. After reducing the mixture, it is cooked again to create a rich and flavorful concentrate. This process ensures the paste has a long shelf life and an intense tomato flavor.

In comparison, tomato purée consists of cooked tomatoes with a thinner consistency, and its shelf life falls between tomato paste and canned diced tomatoes.

Ingredients:

• Concentrated tomato juice

• Refined salt (maximum 1.5%)

Storage Instructions:

Tomato paste is a versatile and high-quality ingredient that enhances the flavor, color, and quality of your dishes, making it an essential addition to your kitchen.
