Tomato puree

Canned goods & sauces

Strained tomatoes (passata) are puréed, sieved, and often lightly cooked tomatoes without seeds or skins. They have a smooth, thick consistency and an intense tomato flavour. They form an excellent base for sauces, soups, and stews.

Strained tomatoes are frequently combined with salt, onion, garlic, pepper, and tomato purée. They are a central ingredient in curries, pasta sauces like Bolognese and lasagna, as well as in stews and soups. Their versatility is evident in dishes ranging from Indian Butter Chicken to Chili sin Carne.
