No less than six kilograms of fresh, fully ripe San Marzano tomatoes are blanched, peeled, strained and gently evaporated under a vacuum to produce one kilogram of tomato puree. The concentration of tomatoes increases the sugar content of the firm yet creamy pulp by around seven times, yet it is not overtly sweet. Instead, it tastes fresh, fruity and tangy-sour, thus preserving the specific taste of San Marzano tomatoes. The unusual size of the container is initially surprising, as people in this country are used to handy tubes from which small portions are processed. However, once you have tasted the fruity, dark red pulp, you will be delighted with the generous quantity, as it is not only suitable as a topping on focaccia and pizza or as an addition to a Bolognese, it also tastes good as a spread - on toasted white bread, for example - and even on its own.
