Our 2200g Canned Tomato Paste is a Brix 28-30% tomato paste made from quality, sun-ripened tomatoes that are processed in a minimally concentrated way to ensure the true natural flavor, color, and nutritional value of the tomato is preserved. Use this tomato paste for soups, sauces, gravies, pizzas, and pasta dishes where you want a denser texture with concentrated flavor in your dish. The product is packed in a fully hygienic and non-permeable 2200g can to ensure consistent quality from batch to batch and longevity on the shelf. Canned tomato paste is highly versatile and meets both household cooking and catering or commercial kitchen needs. A high Brix level results in a dense and full-bodied tomato paste and will decrease cooking or preparation time while improving ultimate cooking results. Best of all, the 2200g can give commercial kitchens the more authentic tomato richness in the large cooking capacities they desire.
FAQs:
Q1. What does 28-30% Brix mean in tomato paste?
Brix is the measurement of the concentration of natural tomato solids and sugars. A Brix of 28-30% means that the paste you purchased is dense, rich, and highly concentrated, which means you do not have to use as much product to get a healthy presence of tomato flavor in cooking.
Q2. How should the 2200g canned tomato paste be stored?
Before opening your canned tomato paste, store it in a cool, dry place shielded from direct sunlight. Once opened, you should transfer the contents to an air-tight container, store it in the cooler, and consume within 5 to 7 days for best freshness.
Q3. Is this tomato paste suitable for commercial use?
Yes, we purposely packed it for restaurants, hotels, caterers, and food processors in 2200g packs. Thus, the high Brix and consistency make it ideal for bulk cooking and food applications in the industry.
Q4. Can it be used directly without dilution?
Yes, you can use this tomato paste straight up for intense tomato flavor. Most recipes dilute tomato paste with water and/or broth in the recipe so that it can emulsify correctly, depending on the dish you are making.
Q5. Does the canned tomato paste contain preservatives?
We use advanced processing methods, and we generally don't need artificial preservatives for our canned tomato paste. Canned foods, in general, have built-in preservation while canning, ensuring safety, shelf life, and nutritional quality.
