Description
Oro di Parma Triple-Concentrated Tomato Paste captures the rich, intense flavor of sun-ripened Italian tomatoes in a convenient tube. Made with 100% tomatoes from the Parma region, the tomatoes are peeled and deseeded before being gently concentrated under vacuum to preserve their natural aroma and nutrients. The triple-concentration process produces a tomato paste with at least 36% dry matter, giving it a deep tomato flavor, rich color and thick texture. The simple recipe contains just tomato paste and salt, with no added sugar.
The convenient 7.05 oz (200g) tube makes it easy to use exactly as much tomato paste as a recipe requires and save the rest for another meal. Add a spoonful to pasta and pizza sauces, soups, stews, Bolognese, lasagna, risotto, braised meats or vegetable dishes to intensify both color and flavor. For an even deeper taste, sauté the paste briefly in olive oil before adding liquids—the concentrated tomato sugars will begin to caramelize and develop a richer, more savory character. Oro di Parma recommends the paste for red and brown sauces as well as pasta, fish, meat, rice and vegetable dishes.
The tomato paste is vegan and naturally gluten-free and lactose-free. Its concentrated tomato content also makes it a natural source of lycopene, the red pigment found in tomatoes. The tube is 100% recyclable.
