Simply open the jar and serve. It is ready to eat straight from the container. For best results, stir the contents before serving as some separation of liquid may occur. It can be served chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed. It is excellent as a standalone dip or as an addition to other dishes to add a zesty tomato flavor. Its robust taste makes it a good base for more complex sauces.
