Tomato puree

The tomato puree from Oleificio Cericola contains all the genuineness of the tomatoes ripened in the sun of our territory.
The location of our company, in the heart of the Tavoliere, gives us the possibility to select the best raw material.
Harvested at the right level of ripeness, when they are sweet and juicy, they are rigorously selected and then processed according to the ancient recipes of the Apulian tradition.

A tomato puree is born with a bright red color, a sweet flavor and a creamy and velvety consistency. It is ideal for the preparation of first courses, sauces and pizzas, recipes based on eggs and white meats.

The ingredients used are only tomato and salt.
