De Rica Passata is a classic Italian tomato passata made from 100% Italian tomatoes of a carefully selected variety, grown within a controlled supply chain. The tomatoes are harvested only at peak ripeness and processed within a few hours of picking to preserve their natural colour, aroma, and characteristic flavour. It is produced by straining the tomatoes to remove the skins and seeds, resulting in the smooth, homogeneous, and velvety texture characteristic of traditional passata di pomodoro. The product contains 99.5% tomatoes and 0.5% salt, without additional ingredients that alter its natural character. It is distinguished by its bright red colour, fresh tomato flavour, and balanced natural sweetness, making it a versatile base for preparing pasta sauces, pizzas, soups, stews, and a wide variety of tomato-based dishes. Its smooth consistency allows it to blend easily with other ingredients while preserving the authentic taste of tomatoes in the finished dish.
