Huerta de Tormantos - tomato sauce

This premium canned tomato will inspire you! It consists of 100% tomatoes of the `Tomata` variety. No salt, no oil, ... pure nature! The `Tomata` is made in La Rioja Alta completely by hand and with a lot of love on approx. 1ha by the family manufacturer Huerta de Tormantos. This tomato is a very special variety: They are very large (between 500g and 1.2kg each), very fleshy, highly aromatic and have a very strong red colour. The tomatoes are planted in May and hand-picked in September. Cultivation takes place without any mineral fertilizers or the use of pesticides. After optimal maturity in the sun, they are picked, washed and peeled. After that, the tomatoes are suspended so that they lose the maximum amount of water. The result is a pure and highly aromatic tomato flesh. About 3 kg of fresh tomatoes are used for a 420g jar. Pure or with good olive oil and salt a pleasure. Also ideal on bread (pan tumaca), for stews, sauces, soups...
