TOMATO PASTE

TOMATO PASTE is a concentrated product made from ripe tomatoes, processing them to enhance their natural sweetness and umami flavor. Often used in Mediterranean and Italian cuisines, its thick consistency makes it a staple in sauces, stews, and soups, originating primarily from regions known for tomato cultivation.

To use TOMATO PASTE, squeeze desired amount directly into dishes to deepen flavor. It can be sautéed with garlic and onions as a base for sauces or added to soups for richness. For extended storage, refrigerate after opening in an airtight container, and consider freezing portions for future use.
