Tomato Passata Vellutata

Description

Weight: 400ml

Passata is a form of tomato purée that has been passed through a sieve to remove the seeds and skins. It is therefore very smooth, and suitable for a number of uses where a finer purée is required.

Vorrei’s Passata is made from the famous San Marzano tomatoes from the fertile Campania region of Southern Italy. It is perfect for making a delicious smooth pasta sauce or for spreading on top of a home-made pizza.

Ingredients

Italian tomatoes, salt.
