tomato concentrate

Among the protagonist ingredients of the Mediterranean table, tomato paste is certainly an example of conservation of this important vegetable also for the cold season: obtained from the sauce of tomatoes boiled after having been deprived of seeds and peels, then exposed to dry in the sun, the tomato paste was then placed in airtight containers, covering it with a layer of extra virgin olive oil, which favored its long-term preservation. Tomato paste, moreover, finds application in many cooking recipes, starting from first courses with pasta, second courses with meat and fish, as well as in focaccias.
