DE RICA TOMATOE PASTE (850 g)

Tin tomato paste is a concentrated form of tomatoes packaged in a tin can. It’s made by cooking down tomatoes until they form a thick, rich paste. This process involves removing the water content from the tomatoes, resulting in a highly concentrated product with a deep, robust tomato flavor.

Tomato paste is typically used as a base or ingredient in various recipes, including sauces, soups, stews, and casseroles. It adds a rich tomato essence and thickness to dishes, enhancing their overall flavor and texture. It can also be used to intensify the flavor of tomato-based dishes without adding extra liquid.

The paste is usually quite thick and has a deep red color. A little goes a long way, and it’s often used in combination with other ingredients to build complex flavors. Because it’s concentrated, it’s a useful pantry staple for cooks looking to add depth and richness to their recipes.
