Sicilian Tomatoes, the Key Ingredient of Artisan Tomato Purée
Conserve Taudì's Artisanal Tomato Passata is made only with fresh and high-quality Sicilian tomatoes. The Sicilian region is known for producing tomatoes with unique organoleptic characteristics and intense, flavorful taste. Thanks to its geographical location, Sicily's hot and dry climate is ideal for tomato cultivation, making these vegetables particularly suitable for the production of artisanal tomato passata.
The Harvesting and Selection of Tomatoes
The tomatoes used for the production of Artisan Tomato Purée by Conserve Taudì are hand-picked and carefully selected. Only the freshest and highest quality tomatoes are used to create the artisan tomato purée. The selection process is crucial to ensure the goodness and genuineness of the artisan tomato purée.
Artisan Production of Tomato Sauce
The Handcrafted Tomato Puree by Conserve Taudì is produced following traditional and artisanal methods. After the selection of tomatoes, they are washed and cut into pieces. Subsequently, the tomatoes are cooked in cutting-edge machinery with a vacuum cooking process that preserves their taste and characteristics, until reaching a creamy and dense texture. The handcrafted tomato puree is then bottled by hand, without the addition of preservatives or thickeners, to maintain the authentic flavor of Sicilian tomato puree.
The choice of tomatoes
Tomato purée is a product obtained from the processing of ripe and juicy tomatoes, carefully selected to ensure a high-quality product. In particular, in our company we only choose tomatoes of Sicilian origin, harvested by hand and carefully selected. For the production of tomato purée by Conserve Taudì, we use only fresh and ripe tomatoes, coming from Sicilian cultivations that respect the environment and nature. Thanks to the choice of high-quality tomatoes, our tomato purée has an intense and authentic flavor, reminiscent of the taste of freshly picked tomatoes.
Tomato Processing
After choosing the tomatoes, we move on to their processing. The tomatoes are washed, cut, and then passed through a sieve to remove the skin and seeds. The tomato pulp obtained in this way is then cooked at low temperature for several hours, in order to concentrate the flavors and obtain a creamy and homogeneous consistency.
During the processing, we pay special attention to the quality of the ingredients and respect for artisan techniques, using only traditional methods and without adding any preservatives or thickeners.
The packaging of tomato puree
Once the processing is complete, the tomato puree is packaged in glass jars, ready to be consumed or stored. Each jar is carefully labeled, providing all the necessary information about the product's origin and composition.
The packaging of the tomato puree has been designed to ensure maximum hygiene and food safety, in order to preserve the taste and quality of the product. Furthermore, thanks to the glass packaging, the tomato puree can be preserved for a long time without risk of external contamination.
How to store tomato sauce
Tomato puree is a highly perishable food, and to preserve it in the best way, it is necessary to take some precautions. Generally, artisanal tomato puree can be stored in a cool and dry place, such as a pantry or cupboard.
However, to ensure maximum freshness and quality, it is advisable to store the tomato puree in the refrigerator, preferably in a tightly closed glass or tin jar. This way, the tomato puree can be stored for a maximum of 3-4 days after opening. It is important to pay attention to the expiration date indicated on the package. Even though artisanal tomato puree does not contain preservatives, its shelf life can be extended through processing and sterilization. However, once opened, the tomato puree should be consumed within a few days to avoid the risk of bacterial contamination.
Artisanal tomato puree is a versatile and tasty food, used in numerous recipes of Italian and Sicilian cuisine. Its artisanal preparation, without the addition of preservatives and chemical additives, makes it a healthy and quality choice. Conserve Taudì offers a high-quality artisanal tomato puree made with selected Sicilian tomatoes, carefully processed by hand with care and attention. Thanks to artisanal processing, the tomato puree maintains its authentic and natural flavor, ideal for preparing tasty and genuine dishes.
