PROVENANCE

Polpa tomatoes are grown in Southern Italy using selected round tomato varieties, chosen for their balance, natural sweetness, and suitability for crushing. Harvested at peak maturity, they are processed within 24 hours to preserve freshness, color, and a smooth, consistent texture ideal for everyday cooking.

PREPARATION

Open the can and transfer the tomatoes directly into the pan or a bowl. Polpa is ready to use as is, with a finely chopped texture that begins breaking down as soon as it heats. If needed, gently press with a fork to even out consistency, but avoid blending — the natural cut provides structure and helps sauces thicken gradually during cooking.

COOKING TIPS

Start over low to medium heat to allow the tomatoes to soften and release flavor slowly.
Season progressively — polpa is designed to absorb aromatics and build depth over time.
Let sauces simmer gently rather than boil to develop roundness and complexity.
Pair naturally with garlic, onion, olive oil, and simple herbs according to the recipe.
Stir occasionally, not constantly, to preserve body and avoid breaking down too quickly.
Allow moisture to reduce naturally rather than forcing evaporation with high heat.

COOKING IDEAS
Ideal for classic Italian tomato sauces and everyday pasta sauces. Well suited for pizza sauce, baked pasta dishes, eggplant parmigiana, and traditional home-style recipes where tomato flavor is meant to deepen slowly and evenly. Polpa provides body and consistency without the need for blending, making it a reliable base for rustic cooking.

COOKING TIME

Quick tomato sauces & pizza sauce: 10–20 minutes
Everyday pasta sauces: 15–30 minutes
Baked dishes & gentle braises: 30–45 minutes

SERVINGS
One can serves approximately 1-3 people, depending on the recipe and use.

STORAGE
Once opened, transfer unused tomatoes to a non-metal container, refrigerate, and use within 3–4 days. For longer storage, freeze portions for up to 3 months.
