Friselle of Durum Wheat
A perfect Mediterranean aroma.
DiscoverOnly Italian tomatoes, bursting with flavour and aroma, grown close to the sea along the Calabrian coastline, and ripened under the rays of the sun. Picked by hand and individually peeled, they're full of juicy flavour, and ready to enhance a huge range of Mediterranean dishes. And there are yellow ones, for more daring, original or exotic dishes.
There is only one real ingredient: peeled tomatoes. They are simply dipped in water when being jarred, together with a leaf of aromatic basil from Calabria, and a pinch of salt to preserve them naturally. There's so much flavour in the jar, and through the glass you can see all the pure goodness of the red and yellow tomatoes.
These tomatoes preserve all the flavour of the coastal terrain of Calabria, where they are grown by the sea. They reflect all the simple, authentic flavours of this land.
Just like when women prepare them at home, making a cross with a knife on the bottom of the tomato to loosen the peel well, before blanching them quickly in hot water, so too these tomatoes are prepared by hand by food-preserving artisans, tomato by tomato, to ensure they remain as wholesome and choice as possible.
This tomato and basil sauce is the simple recipe that brings out all the flavour of these peeled tomatoes. This is why the skin - the most fibrous part - is removed, in spite of its healthy properties. It doesn't need to be cooked for long: the pulp melts in the mouth.
Red tomato 86%, water, basil, salt. Origin of tomato: Italy (Calabria).
