Cento Tomato Paste 6 Oz

Cento Tomato Paste 6 Oz

• A traditional pantry staple from Cento, made with vine-ripened tomatoes that are cooked down into a thick, concentrated paste. It is commonly used as a flavor base in pasta sauces, marinara, soups, stews, chili, casseroles, and braised dishes. It is also often used to deepen the flavor of store-bought sauces or build a rich tomato foundation in homemade Italian cooking, where just a small amount can significantly enhance taste and color.
• Very thick, smooth, and intensely rich with a deep tomato-forward flavor. It has a concentrated savory sweetness with natural tanginess from cooked tomatoes. When sautéed in oil, it develops a slightly caramelized depth that makes sauces taste more robust and full-bodied. The texture is dense and paste-like, designed to dissolve smoothly into liquids when heated.
• Vine-ripened tomatoes, citric acid (in some versions depending on packaging).
