Signature Kitchens Stewed Italian Style Tomatoes With Garlic & Spices
What it is
This is a can of diced tomatoes that have been stewed with garlic and a blend of Italian-style spices. The tomatoes are pre-cooked and seasoned, making them a convenient ingredient for various dishes. The stewing process softens the tomatoes and infuses them with the flavors of garlic and herbs, creating a rich and aromatic base for sauces and other preparations. It is ready to be heated and incorporated into your cooking.

How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused portion to a separate, airtight container. Refrigerate the remaining stewed tomatoes and use them within a few days. This helps maintain their freshness and prevents spoilage. Do not store leftovers in the opened can.
