TOMATO SAUCE:
THE QUALITY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Your condiments are ready in a snap with the best Italian tomatoes. Grown under the Italian sun, carefully selected from the most suitable varieties and processed the same day they are picked. Only the best for your table. But how do you recognize good quality in a sauce?

 

Select ingredients, craftsmanship and… slow cooking

Tradition teaches us that high quality sauce is prepared in an artisanal way, using only prime, ripe tomatoes. The production process takes time, and reflects, even if using the most advanced technology, the rules of homemade sauce. Only in this way can all the core properties of the tomato, the color, the aroma and the flavor, be kept intact.

 

Bright red: the importance of color

The color of tomato sauce can tell us a lot about its quality. The tone of red must be bright and intense. We can learn two fundamental characteristics by looking at the color: 

1) The intensity comes from ripeness and the tomato’s time under the bright Italian sun. No artificial coloring can quite imitate that red that only nature and time can achieve over the fruit.

2) Only superior varietals of tomatoes can bring out a bright, intense color and are suitable to be strained. The slow cooking process reinforces the tone.

 

Harvested and processed the same day

For this reason, quality sauce is made with fresh and with genuine tomatoes collected and processed within the same day. Additionally, constant control, from seed to harvest, allows each individual tomato to be destined for the product line most suited to its quality.

 

Hand-selected, one by one

Each tomato is selected by expert hands and rechecked after peeling, so only the best, perfectly shaped tomatoes, are packaged. Craftsmanship is synonymous of quality: no machine can select a fruit better than the experienced human eye, even when traditional manufacturing processes are carried out by the most advanced technologies.
