Be the first to Write a Review This classic tomato paste gets its bright, intense flavor from tomatoes ripened under the Italian sun and prepared within 12 hours of harvesting to capture their natural sweetness. A century-old company in Parma makes the paste for us, using a traditional recipe that calls for extra reduction—the secret to creating a super concentrated tomato flavor and a rich, smooth texture. It makes a traditional, flavorful base for homemade pasta sauce, pizza sauce, stews and soups. A little bit goes a long way; the resalable tube allows you keep the remaining contents fresh for later use.
