Italian Tomatoes from a Short Supply Chain
It’s important to make a distinction: we purchase fresh tomatoes here in Sal, of course. And they are a good product. But even so, the ancient tradition of tomato cultivation in Italy and their rich, incomparable flavor have led us to seek out an excellent Italian producer. And we found it.
The peeled tomatoes used in our kitchen preparations are imported directly from a historic Italian producer. A producer who boasts an extremely short processing chain. In other words, the 100% Italian tomatoes are processed just a few hours after harvesting. This means that the fantastic aromas and all the organoleptic and nutritional characteristics remain practically intact.
Are you curious?
We’ll tell you a little more about how our supplier prepares these two special ingredients:
The
peeled tomatoes of suitable varieties undergo a rapid pressure blanching, a subsequent mechanical peeling and manual sorting, and are then packaged with the addition of tomato juice; the
tomato puree, on the other hand, is the result of the grinding of high-quality tomatoes for subsequent blanching, refining and collection of their juice.
