What it is
This product consists of organic tomatoes that have been crushed and then combined with tomato puree and basil. The tomatoes are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The addition of basil offers a fragrant herbal note that complements the natural sweetness and acidity of the tomatoes. It is ready to be incorporated into various dishes, saving preparation time.

Simply open the can and add it directly to your cooking. It can be used as a foundation for homemade pasta sauces, simmered into hearty soups, or incorporated into baked dishes like lasagna or casseroles. For a quick pizza sauce, you can heat it with a little garlic and oregano. Its pre-crushed texture means it breaks down easily, creating a smooth and rich consistency in your finished meals. It is also suitable for slow cooker recipes.
