Fontanella Passata di Pomodori - Tomatoe Puree (700g)

Fontanella Passata is made from sun-ripened tomatoes picked at the perfect time for the most flavour.

A passata is a strained, raw tomato blend that hasn’t been cooked. It has been pureed and passed through a sieve to strain out any chunks, skin and seeds so it's perfectly smooth.
A tomato puree, on the other hand, is often cooked before canning/bottling to reduce its water content and sweeten the tomatoes.

Many people prefer to use passata over regular tomato puree since the authentic taste of tomatoes is much more prevalent in the passata. And you don’t need to puree passata or alter it in any way! It’s ready to use right out of the jar, and once you try using it rather than canned tomato puree, you will never go back due to its natural and delicious taste. It doesn't have any additional flavour added, but sometimes has salt added.

It’s a very versatile ingredient to have in your cupboard for use in soups, pasta dishes, sauces and casseroles.
